Gene, you have disappointed Chuck and Harry and their lapdogs by verifying
that Skipper is Skipper.


I have a greater disappointment in seeing your post which only
perpetuates this sort of behavior. I, also, have a greater
disappointment in watching two knowledgeable and venerable posters
publicly duking it out to curry favor from their respective "sides" by
declaring that the other is an undesirable person. Are we going to
vote on this when it finally dies down? What's the point?

Email is for personal issues. This is a personal issue. It should be
via email. There can be no resolution, here, it only serves to divide
and take people's minds off of their OWN boat and boating efforts.


The author of the various attack threads that have fostered this
situation has no interest in finding any resolution. Making as large a
public stink as possible is his *goal*. He can't even be silenced when
one points out the 180-degree inconsistency of his posts for 2000 and
2001 and his current claims on the exact same issue. He isn't the least
bit ashamed to be caught red-handed altering another person's remarks
and then
bracketing the same as if it were a verbatim cut 'n paste. (He needs to
support his BIG LIE with a series of little lies or his argument
crumbles and the entire fabric disintegrates).

You can be assured that if and when Dave Mann stops coming after me in
the NG that will be the end of it. You can also be assured, based on
his history, that if Dave stops coming after me it will be only because
he's found a fresh target for his lies and flaming.

I am sensitive to your distress, Gene, but if reading Psuedo's latest
hallucinations and allegations or my rebuttal to same are upsetting to
you, I would suggest you not open threads titled "Chuck Gould's
Business Ethics" "Chuck Gould's Boating Knowledge" "Open Letter to
Chuck Gould" etc. Especially when the author is Dave Mann.

Thanks for your concern about the situation. The phone call to Psuedo
was above and beyond, especially since if you were following the
exchanges between Psuedo and myself at all you would have been aware
that I several days or more ago I grudgingly conceded the culprit
behind the attack crusade was almost certainly Dave Mann.

Chuck, I wouldn't worry about it. Those of us who knew the "old"
Skipper are unlikely to put much stock in what the "new" Skipper has to
say either. I met a couple last week in the Chesapeake who are in the
process of taking a Skookum 53 down to Venezuela. Couldn't help but
think of old Skippy and his mal-de-mer bride setting off on a boat like
that. It's amazing what these 30 year old Skookums are going for:
