Captain Bill,
I guess I'm too new to the newsgroups to understand the relevance or benefit of including your full post in my reply...considering it's one level up on the same page anyway. Regardless, you're welcome. : ) I also don't understand two things...one, you wrote initially 'since no one seemed to object to this post...' - is it not appropriate to offer my services on the site? Honest question...I really don't know. Two, you 'popcorning in' whatever that is, and your attitude about it, I'm not sure where that's coming from. It seems it's because 'your license is bigger than mine', or you said 100'+, etc...? OK. I'll have my 100T by the end of the year, too, but I still realize ther are guys out there with much more experience and a helluva lot 'bigger' license than myself, and that smart-ass arrogance won't do you much good out on the water, either with crew, or with mother nature. It's when you think you know it all that the lessons really get learned. That said, best of luck with the responses you've gotten. Capt. Rob Welling Sarasota, FL |

Rob Welling Sarasota, FL Some people will object, but so what and tough teaties..... look at all the OT BS that fills these NG's .... at least you're On Topic. BTW a license is only an indication of your training or background, and no guarantee as to your real abilities. Shen |

From: (Rob Welling) Captain Bill, I guess I'm too new to the newsgroups to understand the relevance or benefit of including your full post in my reply...considering it's one level up on the same page anyway. Regardless, you're welcome. : ) You seemed to object to my popcorning in, so I was just pointing out in a sarcastic/humorous way that you had rerun my "ad" by reposting the full text. And there by giving it even more play. :-) I also don't understand two things...one, you wrote initially 'since no one seemed to object to this post...' - is it not appropriate to offer my services on the site? Honest question...I really don't know. Some would consider your post as a form of Spam which is technically against the rules of a newsgroup. And frowned upon by many. But since no one did........ Two, you 'popcorning in' whatever that is, It means to jump in or show up uninvited. And/or to invite yourself. and your attitude about it, I'm not sure where that's coming from. Don't recall having an "attitude"? It seems it's because 'your license is bigger than mine', or you said 100'+, etc...? Not at all. Just stated the facts. Perhaps you're projecting. :-) Besides, why would I minimize my experience while trying to solicit business? OK. I'll have my 100T by the end of the year, too, Great! Let me know when you get it and I'll buy you a boat drink to celebrate. but I still realize ther are guys out there with much more experience and a helluva lot 'bigger' license than myself, The size of someone's license can be meaning less. Except, sadly, to the insurance companies. There are lots of "paper captains" out there. As you may already have seen. and that smart-ass arrogance won't do you much good out on the water, either with crew, or with mother nature. It can come in handy at times? My crews have seemed to prefer it to flogging. :-) It's when you think you know it all that the lessons really get learned. True brudda, true. That said, best of luck with the responses you've gotten. Thanks, you too. Capt. Rob Welling Sarasota, FL I guess I'm too new to the newsgroups One word of advice, don't fall into the trap of taking what gets posted on them to seriously. It can lead to long hours starring at a monitor screen and less time on the water. :-) Capt. Bill Foster Sarasota, FL |

Honest question...I really don't know. Some would consider your post as a form of Spam which is technically against the rules of a newsgroup. And frowned upon by many. But since no one did........ OK, I see. Thanks for the explanation. Two, you 'popcorning in' whatever that is, It means to jump in or show up uninvited. And/or to invite yourself. OK, good to know. and your attitude about it, I'm not sure where that's coming from. Don't recall having an "attitude"? Even the sarcastic / humorous one you mentioned? It seems it's because 'your license is bigger than mine', or you said 100'+, etc...? Not at all. Just stated the facts. Perhaps you're projecting. :-) Is that sarcastic and humorous too? Or is that simply denying the fact that many of your posts 'sarcastically and humorously' make subtle attempts to belittle the original author? In my opinion, if you can only make yourself look valuable, intelligent, experienced or qualified for certain things by trying to make others look less so, that alone speaks volumes. The few posts you have put up on this board that actually offer real info/advice, make it appear you know what you're talking about, but the approach? well, I don't think it's me projecting. I just don't think it's the most effective or impressive way to present oneself. Then again, I'm sure the last thing you care about is impressing me! It certainly appears to be just a pecking order issue with you or something, so um, consider me pecked, if you like. Besides, why would I minimize my experience while trying to solicit business? OK, fair enough, but....why would you place a footnote on someone else's post rather than place your own if you really were interested in soliciting business? Unless.....you could make yourself look 'better' by 'humorously' attempting to make the other person appear less qualified than yourself? Again, judging from numerous other posts of yours, it's more about that than the work or the subject of the post in general. But hey, to each his own... OK. I'll have my 100T by the end of the year, too, Great! Let me know when you get it and I'll buy you a boat drink to celebrate. We'll see...lol! but I still realize ther are guys out there with much more experience and a helluva lot 'bigger' license than myself, The size of someone's license can be meaning less. Except, sadly, to the insurance companies. There are lots of "paper captains" out there. As you may already have seen. Very true. there are, and I have... But there are a lot of working captains (sorry I wasn't specific, i think you got my point, though) that indeed have way more experience and qualifications than you or I. So the know it all stuff, or cockiness, or 'sarcastic humor' if you will, indeed made me laugh, but only because I don't think the way you sort of 'one-upped' each of the things I posted, really says too much about what you have to offer, but more about who you are (good or bad, not for me to say, it's just not my style, nor do I appreciate it, that's all). Matbe an unlimited-ticket container ship captain will chime in, maybe he could offer you a bit of humility, something I apparently can't, what with my measly qualifications. :-) and that smart-ass arrogance won't do you much good out on the water, either with crew, or with mother nature. It can come in handy at times? My crews have seemed to prefer it to flogging. :-) What about when mother nature is flogging you? bet you're wishing she had your sarcastic sense of humor, and was just kidding, eh? :-) It's when you think you know it all that the lessons really get learned. True brudda, true. That said, best of luck with the responses you've gotten. Thanks, you too. Capt. Rob Welling Sarasota, FL I guess I'm too new to the newsgroups One word of advice, don't fall into the trap of taking what gets posted on them to seriously.

Take care Bill..gonna put this one to bed. We're all in it for the same thing....to be out there, not here in front of this box, eh?!? See ya around. Rob. Capt. Bill Foster Sarasota, FL |
