"Chuck Gould" wrote in message ups.com... I got invited up to observe the progress of the new Fathom 40. Hull #1 is being created in a mammoth aluminum shed up in the bustling town of Sedro Wooley, WA. Many of the interior layups are done, the stringer grid popped out of the mold yesterday afternoon, and the hull is getting prepped for infusion. Another glowing assessment of a boat by Chuck. * How lucky you are to observe hundreds of boats with no flaws. *;-) Heck, if one did not know better one might otherwise think your *review* is a shameless advertisement for Fathom boats. Ka Ching! If one really didn't shot from shine, they'd think my report on a visit to a boat factory was a "review". But one would have to be just about dumber than a barnacle to arrive at that conclusion, so there's darn little chance of it happening here in the NG. (On the remote chance that you failed to notice, there *is no* boat to review. Just a group of molded sections and a partially laid up hull.) |

One would definitely have to be dumber than a barnacle to think anyone would pay someone to make a post in rec.boats. |

Chuck, what you're implying is a reading comprehension problem. -- John H Barnacle: A very low form of marine life that contributes nothing to the normal operation of a boat and is a PITA simply "along for the ride". Seems like there will always be a few barnacles. It's fortunate that we don't have any posters to the NG who are non-contributing lower life forms simply along for the ride. But let's examine my egregious screw up: How would I dare post some boating related content here? Will someobdy please pray for my poor misguided soul and send me an email informing me about it? That will give me something to post that would meet with Jim's approval. I live and die by JimH's opinion of me, and it's so distressing to see him unhappy or displeased. Perhaps I should apologize to JimH and his on-line prayer group for cluttering up the rec.boats board with comments about a visit to a boat factory. Who gives a durn about boats or how one brand or another is built? What was I thinking? Anybody know where I can buy a lottery ticket? Not only would that be the highlight of my week, it would make interesting, boating related reading. :-) |

Almost everything you post is overwritten or overwrought or both. Write shorter sentences. Write shorter paragraphs. Edit out the fluff. |
