I meant that before getting the photo open I expected you would have a tiny ww boat. I did not say that your boat was tiny. Is that so complex? Dude, he's not the one who owes an apology, for the fact that you were too dim to understand his perfectly reasonable comment and then flamed him with an infantile reply. -Richard, His Kanubic Travesty -- ================================================== ==================== Richard Hopley Winston-Salem, NC, USA rhopley[at]earthlink[dot]net Nothing really matters except Boats, Sex, and Rock'n'Roll rhopley[at]wfubmc[dot]edu OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters ================================================== ==================== |

I figured you would have one of those tiny ww boats. In the context of whitewater boats, 8' is very long. If you look at the first photo it the label on the hull reads "Pursuit 10" so it's likely 10' long. In any case, this is rec.boats.paddle, not rec.boats.paddle.only.boats.longer.than.16feet.all owed John, did you have any particular motivation for that last comment? It was in response to this statement. I figured you would have one of those tiny ww boats. Putting the emphasis on "you" rather than "figured" makes it sound to me that he was disparaging novice (whose choice of handle almost invites elitism) for his choice of kayak, and "tiny ww boats" could have been written without the "tiny" qualifier. If he would have written: "I figured that it was a www boat", I wouldn't have responed. In any case, novice seemed have read the same thing I did in the response given his reaction. Alas, it appears that it was basically a case of unclear phrasing rather than an intential disparaging. I apologize to galt. 'Cause...galt didn't say anything about 8' WW boats, he was giving an eyeball estimate of a boat in a picture. Actually, he did. The "8 feet or so" question combined with "tiny ww boats" implies that 8' is short in the context of ww boats. Not in my reading of Galt's initial response, John. My paraphrase of his remark, as I understood his meaning, is this: "wow, that thing is at least 8' long! From your subject line, I expected to see one of those tiny whitewater boats!" I was as surprised as Steve and Galt when I saw how both you and "novice" (who is clearly a novice when it comes to polite discourse) responded. -Richard, His Kanubic Travesty -- ================================================== ==================== Richard Hopley Winston-Salem, NC, USA rhopley[at]earthlink[dot]net Nothing really matters except Boats, Sex, and Rock'n'Roll rhopley[at]wfubmc[dot]edu OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters ================================================== ==================== |

I cannot count the number of people who couldn't understand why I refered to the Miata as "a co-ed's car" and refused to test-drive one when I was looking for an inexpensive roadster. (I wound up with an MR2 Spyder. Never even looked at those "sporty compacts" like the 240SX which this weenie thinks is a sports car). 'Course, most of the people who couldn't understand my scorn for the Miata were women... -Richard, His Kanubic Travesty -- ================================================== ==================== Richard Hopley Winston-Salem, NC, USA .. rhopley[at]earthlink[dot]net ..

You drive a Honda? God, you are worthless. They dont call the 240sx a
honda killer for nothing. Die! Sees-koo-wee-hah-nay wrote: novice wrote: Why dont you just bring up inflateables? Jesus, you people just cant handle the fact that my ****en boat fits in my small car.

Each compartment was about 3 feet long so the entire boat was 9 or 10 feet long. When assembled a set of snap latches held it together. Apart it was carried in a sedan. I don't know if it would fit inside a small sports car. |

Spending all your spare time trying to get some "street cred"? Nobody cares about your a car being a "Honda Killer". I've yet to be approached by a fast and furious punk looking to "kill" my Honda. You watch too much TV little boy, come back to reality and realize how insignificant you are in the grand scheme of things.

You took the time to write 50 word response so clearly you care. Me
thinks you protest too much. I have nothing but contempt for Honda drivers. Sees-koo-wee-hah-nay wrote: novice wrote: You drive a Honda? God, you are worthless.
