This is priceless.

Harry really needs to ask "Skipper" how to forge an IP, it will make it much
easier to carry on conversations with his sockpuppets.

Harry can have someone come into rec.boats and ask him if he is the same
Harry Krause who played Rugby at U of Kansas during the 60's. Harry and Mr.
Rugby can then discuss old friends and good times chasing skirt over in MO.

John, it warms the cockles of my heart to see someone being nice to Harry. I've
got him filtered, so I don't know what he said. But, it must have been a nice
post, without name calling, to deserve such a nice mannered reply.

Keep it up. Maybe you'll change the tone of this group!

Back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, Arizona had the most boats per capita
in the nation. Arizona is a great place for a boater to be based, and it
always has been. Now it could be that hot humid Floriduh, and the
bitterly cold mosquito (moskeeto for Harry) infected Minnesota, have
finally caught up with Arizona in this particular category.


Apparently, Skipper, like some other misguided souls, believe that
this was *ever* true.... worse, yet, is the fact that some people
believe it to *still* be true....

http://tinyurl.com/9m8mh

AZ 5,130,632 People, 158,726 Boats or .031 boats per capita

Looks like the first three I checked beat 'ole AZ.... I'll let you
check your on state....

MI 9,938,444 People 980,378 Boats or .0986 boats per capita
MN 4,919,479 People 780,097 Boats or .158 boats per capita
FL 15,982,378 People 805,581 Boats or .050 boats per capita
Even my state beats AZ and with the highest peaks on the East Coast
half of the Western part of the state is barely navigable on foot,
let alone by boat....
NC 8,049,313 People 334,862 Boats or .042 boats per capita

Yet this small exercise in verification has yielded and interesting
document on both boating and boaters.... it is an worthwhile read...

Welcome back Skipper, your specious posts continue to spur heuristic
thought..... a welcome change from the political squabbling from the
bear baiting crowd....

Interesting. I was surprised to see Virginia so high on the number of boats
owned list, beating Maryland and Washington. I didn't figure the per capita. I
leave that to you.

Harry and I go way back. We didn't have much to talk about with each
other, but we both posted on several newsgroups we frequented.

I was a regular on the jetski newsgroup. I was also a regular here till
every post started arguments. I sell marine electronics and gave a lot
of advice in rec.boats.electronics. The same people who accused me of
spamming also got awesome deals from me. I gave them electronics for
only a few dollars above my cost. But, I got too much hate-email
accusing me of spamming. So I still have the business going, but gave
up the newsgroup route.

And Poco, you're right. Talk nice to anyone and chances are they'll
talk nice back.
John

Yes, the rottenest day on Kauai'i is still better than the best day in
S. ILLINOIS.
You weren't there on September 11, 1992, huh? My son and
grandchildren (ages 4, 6, 10 and 12 then) were there that day. My
wife left on the 9th to return to the mainland. I don't think you
would say that day was better than the best day in S. ILL.

I'll bet it was better there on Sept. 11, 1992 than it was in S. Ill on
Sept. 11, 1992.
