We used to have a couple of boat dealers who shared technical
information and even a mechanic here, and the latter published articles
that demonstrated his knowledge. Their identities were known. They got
little here but insults from assholes like your good buddy, who hasn't
even the balls to do so with his identity known. He's a coward.

------------------------------

Bull. Back when rec.boats was a decent boating newsgroup Jim
contributed appropriately and respectfully. He shared his knowledge and
opinions in troubleshooting problems others were experiencing and would
also acknowledge when he was wrong. It's tough to define a problem
remotely and not everyone can do it.

It's only when this newsgroup started heading for the crapper that his
tone changed. I think he's here now for the entertainment value, like
you.

-----------------------------------


Oh. Respect. This is a trash newsgroup, and is not a place I'd come to
for "respect."

--------------------------------

That has become obvious.




Back when rec.boats was a decent boating newsgroup? You mean, in the
early 1990's? I simply don't recall any posts by your buddy of the sort
you describe. I remember good tech info from the Canadian boat dealer,
the Florida guy who was a mechanic and wrote articles for boating pubs,
the guy who fixed old Mercuries (Clams something or other) and one or
two others.

It's funny that this is being posted in the fast foods article, the
point of which was completely missed. The article wasn't about how
teenagers are being victimized by their part-time after school fast food
employment, but that's the way the naysayers here took it. The article
was about how adults, the naive and inexperienced, are taken in by the
fast food outfits and told they can work their way into decent,
managerial level jobs when the reality is that there are very very few
of these, and most of the store-level jobs, even the so-called
managerial ones, still pay **** wages.

Notice that while I disagree with your points, I didn't insult you or
make it personal.



Quick question. When pluralizing a proper name that ends in "Y", are you
supposed to drop the Y and add "IES"

You are doing a magnificent job of walking over smouldering coals.
I hope you don't consider this as an insult. ;-)


No, just add an 's'. If you drop the 'y' and add 'ie' you've feminized the name, which may or may
not be appropriate, depending on the circumstances and one's ability to back a trailer.
