However credit where credit is due, so ......... I wish to take full
credit for stopping our resident deceptive spammer from posting spam about foreign boats of dubious quality with endless references to the "quality" "he" found, they have to say that of course because everyone knows the history of Taiwanese boats, why anyone with enough hooch to buy a 68ftr would buy such a thing beggers belief, but hey Gould & his Tonto Krause begger belief with every post. ************************** You have now proven that you don't know squat about the Taiwan boat building industry. I *own* a boat built in Taiwan. A probably majority of larger boats sold today are built in Asia, although some builders have left Tawain for cheaper labor in other countries. Some builders, such as Riviera, (a very good boat, imo) are even taking advantage of the relatively cheap labor and weak currency in Australia. Do the Aussies generally resent the Taiwan builders as competitors? It is very possible to build a quality boat in Taiwan, just as it is possible to find both reasonable, intellectual, emotionally healthy people as well as (let's just say) "others" in Australia. In fact, the general run of Taiwanese boats has been pretty good over the years. We have hundreds of examples of 30-year-old Taiwan trawlers that have been sitting out in the Washington rain since new that are still in very decent shape for their age when compared to boats built anywhere else. The Mainship line is notable because it is an American-built product in a category (trawler) that is dominated by Asian imports. Your comment about Taiwan boats is particularly funny when one realizes that the majority of folks spouting, "Them folks in Taiwan don't know how to build a boat!" are probably Union workers, employed at non-Taiwanese manufacturers. So I have been wrong about you on this point- you are willing to side with the unions and the manufacturers providing they are GD'ing somebody else you dislike even more. |

After dealing with Geico insurance years ago, I would never have them as my
carrier. The other person carried Geico. And he ran into me while I was stopped makeing a left turn. 100% his fault. |

Bill,
I had someone hit me from the rear. Geico was my insurance company, they told me to have it repaired and they would recoup the money from the other guys insurance. They other guy had $25,000 insurance and he hit 3 cars. My guess is the other guy said it was your fault, like anyone would ever lie. "Calif Bill" wrote in message nk.net...

This was even after the court ruled he should have been charged with
reckless driving instead of assured distance violation (following to close). Funny thing, is he originally told the cop I pulled out in front of him. He then changed the story to I did not signal after he found out he hit me in the rear end, and not the front. Bill "It's Only Me" wrote in message ... Bill, I had someone hit me from the rear.
