What I found hilarious was the groups that it was posted to. marriage,
divorce, survival, boats. The first three have more in common.

When I had had my boat for six months, there was still a lot I didn't
know
about
it. I learned a lot about risers and headers when I pulled mine to
check
them
out. Some things just take time. Every year I learn more. As time
goes
by,
you
will learn more too.

You won't learn a lot about headers or anything else from Rush
Limbaugh,
Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly.


Nor from you, jps. What the heck your reply has to do with John's
comments is beyond me.

You crossposted this to four groups because.... ?

Look closer, Einstein, the original writer crossposted it. If you respond,
your reply goes to the same groups as the original message, unless you
edit
out the extraneous ones. Most of us don't do the editing because it's not
worth the trouble. Crossposting provides a benefit if the posting is done
to
groups that make sense. Obviously, in this case, it didn't.
