Well, let's do it.

I'm going down to SC in the middle of October - let's set something up
for when I return. Split the cost of the boat trip.

Test the information and compare results.

Tom, make sure you go for a test run on Harry's other boat, the elusive
Lobster Boat.

Well, here's the way I look at it.

I don't give a flying rats a$$ about it.

How's that?

Further, unless I see an image of your boat, I'll assume that you
don't have one either. You seem intent on phantom boats, prove you
own one.

Otherwise, drop it - it's stupid and silly.

I really don't care if anyone believes I have a boat or not, I have
never made my boat a priority and created a long series of threads as
"my boat" was being custom built. I have never used my boat as my basis
of comparison to other individuals boat. But if I wanted to, I could
publish many photos of my boat, and get a new boat every year. I seem to
remember both photos and a sound wave of the Lobster Boats horn.

That's what you say.

I've yet to see evidence of it.

Therefore, it's imaginary.

Just saying...

SWS,
All I have to say is I have a really nice imaginary boat, and a really
nice imaginary wife and 3 kids, who love to go the imaginary lake.

Now, what did I do with those blue pills?

I wonder which is more imaginary, the lobsta boat, your lake, or Harry's
'filters'?

Tom, if you're reading this, how would you rate those for 'imagination'?

I DON'T CARE...

Just a demonstration of the how's and why's. I have no reason to
doubt you and I respect your attempt at anonymity, but I would posit
that all it would take is some time, a little effort and the whole
world would know who you were.

My larger point is still valid. It doesn't matter if Harry had a
"lobsta" boat or not - it proves nothing. If he made an attempt to
present evidence that was refuted - so what? It doesn't matter. Does
it make him a "bad" guy? No. A little odd certainly, but a bad
person? Does your insistence on using a numb due plum - an alter ego
- make you a bad guy? No.

It's Usenet - there's a lot of bull**** and Walter Mitty types running
around in electronic form. :) Matters not.

Now, what did I do with those blue pills?

The dog ate 'em.

"Elusive"? You don't really believe that, do you? "Imaginary" would be
more accurate.
