OK, he's not a bot
I'll probably start a flame war but I'll ask a question anyway. I've
crossed words with Harry K a few times the past few days and I am always curious about ppl I talk to. So, what region of the country are you in Harry? Do you sail or power boat. Retired, working,profession? Basically I am just curious. In exchange, I'll reveal I am a psuedo-sailor (28' S2) who lives in N. FL, educated redneck physicist hi-tek entrepreneur. My real obsession is x-ray optics but sometimes I pretend to sail my boat and sometimes I really sail my homebuilt MiniCups. |

My real obsession is x-ray optics but sometimes I pretend to sail my boat and sometimes I really sail my homebuilt MiniCups. Two questions: 1 - What's a Minicup? 2 - X-ray optics huh? Kewl. For like what - medical, non-destructive test - that sort of thing? By the by, like most people here, with one or two exceptions, Harry is a good person - opinionated of course, but then most of us are. The personal exchanges you see here from time to time are based on the contempt theme - as in familiarity breeds, etc. :) Minicup info: http://www.floatingbear.ca/MiniCupLaunches2001.htm Harry info: ?? Can't agree that a person whose goal in life seems to be the spreading of hate is a 'good' person. Perhaps you've met and talked to him longer than I have. I have no reason to think otherwise John. I don't agree with everything Harry does and posts, but when the political stuff calms down a little Harry is just like the rest of us - an engaging boater with something to contribute. We're all like that really - every one of us. Like John, I also disagree. We are not all like Krause.....hardly. We do not stalk folks here who disagree with us. We don't post their addresses. We don't post their wives name. We don't obtain pictures of their houses. We don't make personal threats to them. We don't lie about our lives. We don't lie about the boats we own(ed). We don't lie about our wives education. We don't lie about our education. We don't lie about helping the refugees. We don't constantly call folks who disagree with us names or go out of our way to insult them. Nope, we are not all like Harry Krause....and thank God for that. |

Has he ever gone for a whole day? Please don't imply we're all like him. I sure don't think you are! -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |

He acted like an ass both times, and was extraordinarily ungracious. Do you need any more proof Tom? |

I asked him about that once and his reply was along the lines of, "If you look for it, there's something beautiful about everyone." I didn't take up his ways, but I've always looked at people differently since then. |

Hell, why did you make such invitations, which you've mentioned several times, if I was such an ass? Harry, you shoot yourself in the foot every time you open your mouth with another 'story'. -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
