Thanks for the kind words Scotty. Sorry you had to sell

your Mac.

You're welcome. Oh, and I didn't have to sell my Mac, I
wanted to.

At the time, maybe. - But I've seen several notes you posted since then
that suggest you had some good times on your Mack.

Scotty's sarcastic notes didn't address the gist of my original note, of
course. (They never do. - He seems to be afraid to actually get into a
discussion relating to the substance of what was posted. Like a spoiled
little brat, if he doesn't like the gist of the discussion, he hides
behind his snide, cutesy remarks so he won't have to actually respond to
what was said. - Knowing that if he did, he would get his ass kicked.)

But in any event, does anyone doubt what was stated in my post regarding
Wilbur's problems?

can to get out on the water and should realize even an unnoteworthy
vessel is better than no vessel at all.




Keeping this in mind, don't you think it would be wise for a lawyer to
show up in this group with boat having a quality name. A Hinckley, a
Swan, a Wauquiez, a Morris, an Oyster, a Contest. You get the picture.
Could you honestly have much confidence in a lawyer who could not
afford one of the above or was so ignorant that he sailed a MacGregor
26? ---------------------------------------------------------------------



To anyone who hasn't realized it, Wilbur (or whoever he is) posted the
initial note trolling in an attempt to get a response from me (the only
lawyer on the ng who owns a MacGregor). Since I didn't take the bait, he
was stuck with all the indignant responses from everyone else and more
or less made an ass of himself. Sorry, Wilbur. - Better luck next time!

As for my legal practice, although I'm technically retired, I have all
the work I can handle, thank you.

I like it when I aggravate you until you get strident pats own back.
It shows my superiority. Bwaaahahahahahahahaha! It's good to see I've
got you thinking about your embarrassing choice of a boat.

Once more. Does anyone doubt that Wilbur (or whoever he is) ended up
with responses he didn't anticipate, when his trolling didn't get the
response he was looking for, and when he ended up having to answer a
number of indignant responses from others participating in the discussion.

You'll never make a decent troll. You don't have a clue about what
motivates a troll. The type of response matters little. As a matter of
fact, the more indignant the response the better. Trolls are puppet
masters. Not, that I claim to be one. I'm just a sailor who likes to
talk about sailing. And motoring around in a Mac26 is a far cry from
sailing. So, get off the group you big dope!

I have no interest in becoming a troll, if that's what you mean.

You don't get it, do you Wilbur. (Or more likely, you're not willing to
admit it.) - It's obvious that you were aiming at me, but you missed.
Instead, you shot yourself in the foot.


I'm just a sailor who likes to
talk about sailing. And motoring around in a Mac26 is a far cry from
sailing.


Sure thing, Wilbur. - Just another devoted sailor who likes to talk
about sailing. (Plus Al Gore, fat people (human swine, according to
you), daylight savings time, anyone who questions Bush's judgement, dumb
illiterates who live in DC, all Dems, etc., etc.


So, get off the group you big dope!


Not a chance. - But maybe you should consider leaving, or at least
leaving behind your "Wilbur" mis-identification.
