It really was obvious what you meant, and all of us need to ignore those
whose sole purpose in coming to the NG is to cut and paste a newspaper
article to get into a silly ****ing contest.

You're absolutely right. I'm embarrassed that I slipped to his level. It's
funny though... I have him killfiled, and I still see his posts since I need
to read other postings, in case something relevant is added to the thread.

I've only been around here for a couple of years, and it's clear who's worth
reading, and who's not. So far, I only have one fella KF'd. g

To get back on topic, what Bill say's is correct. I don't care what the "on
the record" response is from the authorities; It's far from reality. In the
Delta (I live in the bay area and boat there as well), there are countless
boats scattered along the shores... abandoned. There's over a thousand miles
of waterways in the Sac River Delta, so it's a problem. Some (as Bill says)
are big suckers, barges and such. It seems to me that if the authorities
were actively chasing down the owners, that part of the punishment would be
removal of the vessel. But they sit there... stripped of anything useful,
and most likely would sink if they weren't grounded. To me, it gives the
area some character... it's not like it's garbage floating in the water. In
many cases, they are landmarks (watermarks?) as well. It is easy to get lost
out there if you don't have a GPS, or know the area.

LOL! Ambiguity in the typewritten word. In case some folks didn't
understand the above. It did not mean thatI didn't get (understand) John
H's post, in fact I agree with it. It means, that I don't get why people
continue to argue with a rockpile like asskisser.

I've lived in the area also. So, are you saying, like Bill, that the
authorities condone this? Also, back to the original comment. If this
is true, why would Mythbusters have to solicit for a hull to play with?

If you are into Karate, you have taken at least a thousand too many blows to
the brain. Or you took on a NYC taxi driver, who replied to your Karate
stance with a NYC taxi driver tire iron response. Myth Busters wants a
cheap hull. Why pay pay, when you can get one free, or almost free. All
those abandoned hulls in the Sac Delta, are not floating.

I'm officially outta this thread. There's no talking to this guy... he's
right and everyone else is not. This thread reinforces the reason I KF'd
him.

This is the 3rd or 4th time you've said you were through sparring with

Just when do you plan on stopping?

None of them? And none can be made to float?

I see that you realize that you are wrong, as usual. So predictable,
when found, as usual, that you are wrong, you instantly start your
childish and petty insults.

It would cost more to float them than buying a floating boat, and most are
not 1990 and newer models.

Every boat on the Delta, which is "littered" with boats? None of them
float? None of them are capable of floating without a lot of work?
NONE?
How do you know this? Have you surveyed every single abandoned boat on
the Delta that is "littered" with them?

Most are sunk, or in the tules aground. If they are easy to remove the
county contractor has removed them. The others take more work, there for
cost more, so they are still there. This is the last comment on the
subject, as you just like to argue, and nothing good comes from wrestling
with a pig in mud.
