Noah,
I could care less if anyone smokes or grows dope in their home, but only
an
idiot would make a post about it and then spend 90% of his time picking
fights on Usenet and threaten to break peoples necks.
I started reading this NG thinking it was about boats, I realize that it
is
about tweaking other people who posts in here, and I am just tweaking the
local idiot. If you think my few posts in rec.boats will make a
difference
in the signal to noise ratio in the NG you are mistaken.

Bill, I appreciate your rational response, I expected to get flamed.
If bk is indeed "the poster formerly known as Jim Dandy", then I
understand your zeal. I DO wish you kids would take your horse-apple
fights outside, though. It makes a mess of the house. )

Incidently, there is a lot of information about boats here, and quite
a few people who are willing to offer on-topic help and info. Some of
these guys know more than the average dealer or marine mechanic. You
just have to look for the mushrooms and avoid the fertilizer.

Now who is turning a nifty phrase? ;)

Look for the mushrooms and avoid the fertilizer indeed.

Later,

Tom
