John... you seem desperate to get Harry's attention. If you try being
nice,
you may even get another invite out on his boat.
just think...you'd have a 'captive audience' out there on the Bay a couple
miles offshore.

My gosh, Don! Who is more complimentary of the fine young man? When was
the
last time you told Harry what a neat guy he was?

You know, I really think you'd bitch and whine if someone ****ed in your
beer.

Word for today John... *'sincerity*




Good grief. Herring is really obsessed with me. He knows the area in
which I live...maybe I should move before I'm the victim of a right-wing
drive-by.

Harry, I'd drive by only to get a picture of you and all your boats! You
are so neat I'd probably keep the pictures on my desk!

The rumors of your demise were premature.
Glad to see it.

Thanks. Rumors of my demise? Wow. Well, I just don't have the time
anymore to post as much as I used to. And with the turn this group
has taken, it's not really worth it anyway. Plus, I sold 2 of my
boats last year. Now the only way I have to get on the water is the
little Zodiac inflatable with a small outboard that used to be the
tender for the big boat. But even that's still fun.

Boating seems to be "the" thing to get out of these days. Very few of
those who post here are actually boaters. Glad you are maintaining at
least one boat.

You know what they say, the 2 happiest days are when you buy your boat
and when you sell it. Well, that wasn't true for me. I was really
sorry to see it go. But it needed a lot of work that I didn't have
time to do and I got even more than I was asking for it so away it
went.

The buyer is an experienced sailor (fortunately for me so I don't have
to deal with some novice calling all the time with tons of questions
about the boat's systems) who sailed it to Virginia and is going to
fix it up and race it. That surprised me because the thing was
*really* slow. Definitely a slow comfortable cruiser, not a racer.
But if he's doing PHRF racing, he'll get a really nice, big handicap.
And have a very comfortable time racing.

I guess racing can be fun with two fully stocked ice chests, shrimp
and steak on the barbie and some corn on the cob roasting in the oven.
Add to that 140 gals fresh water tankage and 2 full heads each with
shower and the crew can even stay clean and fresh during the race.
That's my kind of racing.

The problem with many usenet groups is that they have been infested with
slime who think they can get away with posting any sort of insult they
like because they're "anonymous."


Of course, if you post using your name, then it's perfectly acceptable to
post any sort of slimey insult you like!


If you filter out the trash from these posters, you'll have a more
readable newsgroup he

What do you consider "amateur"?



Bloggers who have no real experience or useful non-general information
in a particular field and also cannot write.


What about punctuation, Harry? Got any commas on you keyboard?

All you have to do to get rid of most of the useless slime here is
for usenet to require that real names and IPs be used in posting.
That would be the end of at least 90% of them.


Yep...shine the light of day into the dark crevices.


You both take usenet far too seriously, but I would suggest that
using a
"real name" could lead to truly serious complications. Besides the
annoyance of additional spam, more than one person has been the
victim of
identity theft due to online activities. Then there are the even more
serious issues, stalkers, pedophiles, etc. Using your real name
flies in
the face of all online recommendations, and is basically stupid.



Whatever.

Nowadays, I just stuff the a**holes into my Bozo Bin.

As of this morning, the following boys are playing with each other in
the

allota fagina

M15
US CVNS
Montgomery Scott
Not Me
John Herring
Fredo
Reggie in all his known false IDs
Charles
Dan Krueger

Jackoff

It only takes a couple secs to stuff the latest a**hole in there.



Thanks Harry! You *are* the man!

I see Harry's narcissism is acting up again

It's not acting up again - it's terminal.

Change the **or** to an "and", and I would agree.

Anything worth saying is worth saying well.



I don't mind reading well-written trash. God knows, I produce enough of

Ullico has money left in the pension funds to pay you for that? Nice!
