That is not what a buddy does, a buddy should be more than just someone to
join in on rec.boats personal insults. Let's try to stay focused on
discussing issues and not personal insults.

Since when has wrecked.boats not been insulting?
(Wondering where Skipper is .... should be back from his "cruise" by now).

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.

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.
