Did I say that? No. What I said was that Wayne has with his daily
personal insults reduced himself to a more educated version of
Slammer. That's why I shoved him into the dumpster. I for the most
part have refrained since the beginning of the year from personally
insulting other posters here. Wayne has not, Hank has not, Slammer
has
not, and a couple of others have not.
A true professional would have written: "I, for the most part,
have...". You chose to not highlight the "for the most part"
point in
your post. It's obvious why you took that path.

His punctuation is horrible, doncha think?

Oh Wayne, be nice. We just went through Valentine's Day, a day to
bestow love, hugs, and kisses.

Besides, it's his cut'n'pastin' that earns the award.



Americans who are poorly educated or sloppy in the use of English tend
to overuse commas.


I, overuse commas, all the, time.



I don't pay much attention to my own spelling or grammar here since
after all it is just rec.boats. I pay even less attention to spelling or
grammar here when I post with my cell phone.

That has, on several occasions, been the subject of observation and comment.

Is it your presumption that rec.boats is worth paying close attention?

Close attention was not required.

It's not as if there is much boating content to pay close attention to.
Now, if you are fixated on handguns, minibike racing and cornering, golfing, camping etc, better perk up.

It's very difficult to be 'fixated' on so many different activities!

You should really add photography, airplanes, guitars, computers, pets, recipes, psychology, et al
to your list of 'fixations'.

Oh,and by all means, don't forget agnosticism, politics, and especially anti-religion to that
'fixation' list.

Hope you paid attention!

Heh. There's also an obsession with fruit! The PC kind.

You could write a book on Johnny's obsessions.
They change by the hour and the day. In the good old days they might have called that behaviour 'flakey'.

You forgot minivans, dummy.
