I know we've had this conversation before but you've got an uphill
battle ahead of you in regard to stereotypes.

One of our local, responsible, PWC'ers managed to decapitate himself
last week while running through a mooring area at speed.

That is horrible (but then obviously he wasn't one of the responsible
and safe-operating ones I referred to....I didn't mean to imply that
all pwc'ers fell in that category, if it sounded that way I wasn't
expressing myself quite clearly.) At any rate, of course in any
segment of boaters (not just pwc's) we could come up with lots of
recent stories of people hurting and killing themselves and others by
doing stupid dangerous irresponsible things and not knowing how to
conduct themselves on the water.
