"Don't worry about the price" was in some ways the company motto?


The company "paid inflated prices for goods and services on a daily
basis and then passed these overcharges on to the U.S. taxpayer.

Damn! I did not know Gray Davis and the California Legislature had taken
over Halliburton.

Yes, it is. The reason is that 90% of us still have our boats winterized and
are anxiously awaiting spring. In the meantime, there isn't much to talk about
regarding boating. So, the signal to noise level drastically increases.
People start talking politics, religion, motorcycles, classic cars, music,
etc...etc...

I have joined in and (to some) have fueled the off-topic posters and cause
myself to probably get "PLONKED". I tried setting up filters too at one point,
but then realized that by doing so, I would be a hypocrite. Why? Because I am
just as guilty as the others with off-topic threads during the winter months.
