I think Don was talking about you when he said the worst OT posters
don't own a boat.


Sorry Mr. Smithers.
Everyone here knows I have a Sandpiper 565 sailboat.
I believe he's questioning your mode of water transportation.


Whoops...did I get this backwards?
Anyway...my statement stands and yours is full of hot air.



We know you have a boat Don. How is it you know that Kevin has one?

Studied that a lot, have you?

Hey, Jim, he doesn't know if Kevin has a boat or not. He does, however,
know that I have one. And he knows who I am.....he's brighter than you.

Now, Jim, why in the world won't you answer my simple question to you:

Jim, how come you didn't ask that a few hundred times before you bought

an old runabout?

Grin,
Sorry, I thought you were talking about Kevin not having a boat. Who are
all these boatless son of a bitches, and lets get them out of rec.boats.

One of the challenges this group has faced, for many years, is that it
tends to drive away participants who are actual experts in marine related
fields. Most of the rec.boats crew who own boats own outboard or sterndrive
trailer boats......


And just what is wrong with the contributions from experienced boaters
who own outboard/sterndrive trailerable boats, Chucky? Do you feel their
opinions are not worthy? Are their views less valid than yours? Truth be
known, many of these boaters you view as inferior actually have much
greater and varied boating experiences than yourself. They have traveled
boating worlds you never will.

So, Commodore Chucky, perhaps it's time you wake up and realize you are
more of a hypocritical problem than a wise solution for this NG. Can you
stop the denigration of fellow boaters? Having met you and experienced
your personal and business ethics, I rather doubt it. And while we're on
this subject, can you imagine Peggy or Bill Granis labeling fellow
contributors as "non-boaters" and engaging them in long political
banter? Can you visualize the Commodore doing so?

Trouble is... a sizeable portion of the worst posters don't own boats.
They wouldn't have anything to say if they couldn't post OT.

Or, they've just gotten a boat, and since getting it, feel the need to
ask everyone to post a picture of their's! Reminds you of a certain
rec.boats clergyman, huh?!


Don?

Show us a picture of your boat Kevin.

No

Do you actually own one?
Yes. AND a canoe.

See Don?? How's THAT for a childish buffoon!! Old Jim doesn't even
realize what an idiot he's being!!

Jim, how come you didn't ask that a few hundred times before you bought
an old runabout?

WOW, how does Don know who you are and what kind of boat you own?

Wow!!!

This sight has people with serious, serious, serious issues and they're not
boat related. Good luck to you all, reply if you like, but I'll never be
back.
