Does anyone remember when Kern of System Three used to be a regular
contributor?

There are a number of people who are in the boat business who have

contribution to the collective knowledge here. Jacques is one of them.
Sadly, every now and then they get a ration of grief from some flamer and
they decide they don't need
the abuse. We lose their wisdom.

"If what you believe does not reflect truth, then what you feel does

John,

I don't think anyone who offers a reasonable response to a post should
get any **** here. I have been here for the best part of a decade and I
see a bad pattern developing. We are starting to except bad behavior as
the norm and are even starting it ourselves. I have no problem with the
business people here. The problem is civility not commercialism. If you
want to see where it will lead go look at rec.boats or alt.sailing.asa.
What a pitty to loose this forum to that.

Still in my Lazyboy. Real men use Webtv, no killfile.

the real tragedy being that the posters on these forums generally
believe themselves to be adult.

Just finished loading a container of boats for the States during which
everything went wrong. Could've done with a moaning chair about every
five minutes for three and a half hours.
