Thanks for yet another unprovoked nasty personal remark, Jim.

Watch the video. It might adjust your sour attitude.

If you followed your own advice, you'd post about twice a year.

Here's the funny part....... I never mentioned your name at all. If
you feel that you were being singled out, it could only be as a result
of you self-identifying with the behavior described. Is that the case?

Sort of like somebody taking a whiff and saying "Somebody farted!".
Everybody looks around the room a bit puzzled, except one guy who
stands up angry as hell and says, "You've done worse!" :-)

Did you watch the video, Harry? It might bring back a few memories of
days of yore.

Who said you mentioned my name? You brought that up, Mr. Snark. You're
so overflowing with netcop syndrome, you don't even see you've become
the poster boy of what you don't want.

That's just it. I didn't single you out yet you felt compelled to
retaliate.
Take one step back and get a broader perspective. Who has done all the
name calling so far in this thread? ("snark" "a**hole" "netcop", etc)
First clue- it isn't me. :-)

My comment was on your general snottiness and snarkiness. I'm not
concerned whether you "single" me or anyone else out. Several posters
here, more than several, actually, have watched your devolution with
some sadness, and a few have commented on it. It's hard to believe that
you don't see yourself engaging in the precise sort of behavior for
which you castigate others. That you may or may not name names in a
particular post is not relevant, nor is the language you or others use.

I think the difference is snarkyness compared to downright vulgarity
and intelligent banter as opposed to downright juvenile behavior.
Anyway, to keep this on track, back in the early 80's when big wooden
boats were a dime a dozen, and most of my friends could not afford to
take them out of the slip we used to say, the smaller the boat, the
more boating you get out of it. I must admit I get a little ticked off
when some old snot looks down his nose at my boat and crew. Just don't
get it, some of them. That video is what boating is all about, period.
I think folks should try to find the positive in all posts, take from
the group what they can, and not ideology get in the way of a good
time.

I wonder if your perceptions are real or imagined. I thought about your
statement about the "old snot" who looks down his nose ....

In the many years that we have been involved in boating, I can't think of a
single example of any boater, in any size boat "looking down his nose" at
someone in another boat that is smaller, cheaper or whatever. To the
contrary, I've seen people who exhibit respect for other's boating interest,
regardless of how expensive or big or small and cheap. Sometimes they are
more well intentioned and helpful than you might want them to be.

I *have* witnessed the time honored distain for blowboaters versus power and
visa-versa and for obnoxious jet ski operators. I've also noticed that
sailboaters tend to be more critical of another's craft. (check
alt.sailing.asa for examples). I don't see that with powerboaters.

And a lot of posters here, well maybe only several, or maybe just a few,
think you're a real neat guy!
