Willie-boy, as usual you confuse your opinions with reality. I've seen
watermen from Maine to Hong Kong moving boats with muscle power and
not a one of them has acted as though silence was a major criteria. As
for your comments about oar locks, it is just about as foolish as the
rest of your post since probably 90% of the world's oarsmen don't even
use oarlocks at all.

So -- if the rest of the world doesn't follow your dictate to be quiet
and most don't even use oarlocks where does that put your comments?
Facts? Left field? Ravings of a mad man?

You remind me of the old story about the fond mother watching the
parade and saying, "Look! Look! The whole parade is out of step except
for my Willie".

Sorry, Brucie Boy, but rec.boats.cruising and rec.boats don't give a
hoot how they do it in some third world dive where senile, cranky,
end-of-the-road, pretend world cruisers, who never even made it half the
way 'round, hang out at the dock in an alcohol induced haze for years
and years acting like they have a life and are actually going somewhere
again when they know they no longer are mentally or physically fit
enough for the task.


Much idiotic and somewhat paranoid garbage deleted

Ah Willie-boy you are so predictable that it is pitiful.

I comment on your remarks about rowing should be silent by saying that
I have never seen a professional - an individual who makes his living
on the water - give a hoot about how quiet he can row and that your
arbitrary dictate that one must use a specific type of oar lock, which
you recommend, or be termed "lubber" is obviously false as 90% of the
world's watermen don't even use oarlocks.

How do you reply? By stating facts to back up your ludicrous claims?
Not a bit, you immediately switch to a personal attack, reminiscent of
a 10 year old school boy shouting, "Nah, Nah, Nah, your mamma wears
army boots", in the school yard.

But to reply to a few of your comments:

Sorry, Brucie Boy, but rec.boats.cruising and rec.boats don't give a
hoot

Certainly you are correct, but you neglect to include a statement that
they also don't give a hoot about how Willie-boy Hubbard rows his boat
either.

end-of-the-road, pretend world cruisers, who never even made it half
the way 'round, hang out at the dock in an alcohol induced haze for year

You make two points here. You are correct that I got "half way round"
and decided to stay, but I might ask how far round did you get?

Your second point about alcohol induced haze is incorrect. I haven't
tasted an alcoholic drink for 35 years or more. To be honest, I used
to imbibe but woke up one Sunday morning with a terrific hangover and
realized that this was foolish so never drank again.

However, in the real world where people are still young and where
technology and affluence has replaced
make-do-with-primitive-means-at-hand jury rigs, it matters as far as
doing things in a safe up-to-date and efficient manner.

Willie-boy you aren't close to accurate here. In this high technology
world you brag that you ride a bicycle. High tech indeed.

My original goal for this post was to scrutinize Mr. Bruce Paige's
remarks point by mudslinging point and slap down each and every one of
them.

Then why didn't you? I wrote what I see to be fact and you respond
with a personal attack. Is this what you mean by "slapping down every
point"?

I'll say that again, because I want it to sink
in: If the United States were overrun by third world wannabe tactless
prigs

Willie-boy, 16 percent of your population is overrun by hispanics and
of that 16% half or more are illegal. I am continually reading about
Spanish becoming the predominating language in many places. Miami, for
example?

stares from dockmasters, taxis that don't
stop because they know he won't pay the fare

Sorry, don't use taxis, got my own car.

Sure, I could just sit back and let Bruce throw stones my way and
leave subscribers morally adrift,

Willie-boy, I don't throw stones your way, I simply disagree when you
try to convince the world that one of your delusions is a fact.

leading poor, gullible newsgroup *******s to the slaughter.

Will-boy, you certainly have a fine opinion of the other readers of
this group.

you'll
honestly conclude he's trying make us the helpless puppets of
third-world demographic and social ways and means.

What post of mine are you referring to? It must be the alzheimer's
that you claim that I suffer from, but I can't remember ever
advocating that anyone subscribe to any third-world demographic and
social ways.

In short Willie-boy, rather then discuss facts you attempt to convince
readers that your personal fantasies are truth and when someone points
out the errors in your statements you react by vicious personal
attacks.
