Chill out. I went back and read Jacques response to your original post. It
was not particularly inflamatory. It seemed he was offended that your post
seemed to indicate some less than wonderful quality about proffessional boat
builders. He just posted a different view point. That is to the general
benefit of usenet. The opportunity to read different view points. You
don't have to agree.

It just seems to me that he blew your original post out of proportion a
little bit, and then because he present a view point that was not consistant
with yours that you got offended.

As to your comments about making a post with links to sites. That was over
the top just a little bit. Nobody in any of the posts I read said, "don't
post links to websites." In fact I have seen hundreds of links to websites
both commercial and non commercial posted here with nobody ever commenting
that it was inappropriate. In general in usenet it is inappropriate to make
post for the sole purpose of advertising a commercial website, but usenet
still exists because of the internet. It would be silly to ban posting
URLs. LOL!

I'm not defending Jacques. As anybody who remembers can tell you my first
public comments about him were less than stellar, but he is an accomplished
builder and he has more than a little share of pride in his abilities.
