Because it's easy and safe.

Before Usenet you got into an argument in a bar, called someone an asshole
and he would proceed to rearrange your face.

Harry and the rest of the punks in this NG have never had the guts to
get into an argument in a bar. At least not more than once.

Well, we know you never go to a bar to pick up dates. Your two
favourite sexual partners are 'close at hand'.

That's my story and I am sticking to it!

Try being more open about your boat and boating experiences and maybe,
just maybe folks will consider your advice. Until then accept the
consequences of your decision to remain totally anonymous to this NG,
both in name and experience, none of which have resulting in insulting
or name calling.

BTW: You previously stated that *all* Volvo Penta engines need a 160F
and you were promptly proved wrong. Your credibility remains at 0%

Just the facts...........Jack!

Several months ago, JimH, a person on this group made fun of your last
name, your boat, where you lived, the house you lived in, your reasons for
selling your boat, your being boatless, and any other personal information
this individual could glean from your posts.

Do you not remember this?

Now you are asking another to provide personal information, somehow linking
his knowledge to his release thereof.

You're almost correct... just one partner, my wife.

You keep your's close at hand too, right? Your mom. You sick canuck.

Reggie's stated reasons for anonymity are b.s., in case you haven't yet
guessed. He plays his little game because at one point he logged on here
with his "real" persona, and he doesn't want the "regulars" to guess who
he really is.

Harry,
Are you saying, I prefer to keep my anonymity because some regulars
prefer to respond with personal insults instead of sticking to the topic
being discussed?

Disclosing your real first name (and using it), the type of boat you
own and where you boat is not disclosing your anonymity.

What are you afraid of?

Anyone who has been in rec.boats for more than a few months would know
when boating "credentials" and boating "history" are used to quantify or
qualify your responses, your "credentials and your history become the
debate, NOT THE INFORMATION BEING DISCUSSED. Personal info is not an
answer to online creditability, personal behavior is. JimH and others
now know Volvo spec'd his engine to use a 160 degree thermostat, an
engine is a integrated system, you can not change part of that system,
without effecting other parts of that system. Someone mentioned the
lower operating temp of 140 degree will result in fouled plugs and a
build up of carbon. A 25 degree temp. range for a fresh water cooled
engine is unusual, and should not be ignored until the end of the
season. When you have a problem with your engine, you should never use
Usenet to trouble shoot and then pick and choose the answer you want to
use based upon whom you like, which answers will result in the lowest
cost to you, or which answers you were hoping for. Usenet will never
replace a reliable mechanic actually placing his hands on and looking at
your engine.

I wish I was wrong, but I think there are people who like to use
personal info as a vehicle to hijack every thread into a personal
battle. There are also news reports of people who have use personal
info provided in Usenet for ID theft for personal gain or other unsavory
reasons. While there are many in Usenet I would enjoy boating or
fishing with, kicking back and having a beer, there are some that I
think are mentally unstable, and I do worry what they would do with
personal information. For that reason, I do follow the advice of ALL
INTERNET SECURITY EXPERTS, and keep all personal information out of
Usenet.

I was amazed that none of the real experts jumped into the thermostat
debate or the temperature fluctuation discussion. I guess they have
left rec.boats.

Admitting he used to post here with "real" information, of course.

Could he be Jim Gallow? Reggie knew quite a bit of the Atlanta area when he
used to spend his time teasing Kevin.

But then again, Jim Gallow owned a boat.

Harry,
Considering some of the conversations that get bet to death, I thought
this was better than most. I am doing my best to keep it on topic
without any personal attacks, and have ignored yours and JimH's barbs,
because it looks like this is something that is relevant to everyone who
boats. Why does it bother you to discuss the idea of using mechanics
you can trust and when it makes sense to cut your loses and find a new
mechanic?


Because the topic of this thread is removing waterline scum. Got it?

Isn't this a conversation that can be kicked around without the name
calling?

No one has called you names. What you were accused of is having no
boat, no boating experience and harping on something that was a dead
issue (with you) days ago.

If you want to start a thread about mechanics be my guest. But this
thread has absolutely nothing to do with that subject.

Every regular here has at one time or another posted pictures of their
boats, talked about their boats and their boating experiences. You
have *never* done so. I cannot think of one other regular here who is
in your company.....not one. You have even made it a point to keep
even your first name a secret *Reginald*.

You have chosen to be secretive about everything in your life. That
is certainly your choice, but learn to live with the consequences by
doing so.

And please stop the whining and the "who, me?" routine........it is
getting old.


Gosh, JimH. You're assuming an awful lot there, don't you know.

Would it be better if Reggie said he owned a 36'er and talked about all the
'trips' he'd taken? Would that make him more believable?

From the advice he's given, just to you, I'd say he's had more experience
with boats than either you or me. Why not discuss the advice itself,
instead of throwing acrimonious insults around?

You'd say? Hehehe. You and Reggie should get a room.

Add Kevin to that list. Would that make it a ménage à trois?

And away he goes on another of his monthly bipolar rants!!! Jim, care
to take the $5,000 challenge that I'm not Kevin? Or would you rather
just stick your head in the sand and believe something that's not true?

That would move him/her a couple of steps up the credibility ladder.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!



Why not discuss the advice itself,
instead of throwing acrimonious insults around?


If telling someone that I would never consider any of his/her advice
based on the fact that he/she has never posted any personal experiences
about his/her boat and boating experiences then I guess I am guilty of
"throwing acrimonious insults around".

In my eyes, he/she has absolutely no credibility.

Because someone doesn't come here and blather about every aspect of
every single time they take the boat out in boring inane detail, like
you, that means they don't own a boat or know anything about them?
