A work of fiction if I do recall correctly.

We eagerly await your own contributions to the literary arts. Oh
yes, sorry, I forgot you recent scholarly attempt to define a**hole.

A number of really good actors have played Silver in film, including
Orson Welles, Charlton Heston, Jack Palance, and, of course, the
incomparable Wallace Beery.

No one really gives a **** what Chuck thinks about pirates or pirate lore.

Have you taken a survey? I rather enjoyed his insightfulness.

Ley's take a vote.

Naw. But your constant barrage of personal remarks is pretty tedious.


Aye, indeed it is.


Leading by example again, Whine? Shouldn't you be out on the
interstate, towing a boat at 75 mph, or something equally anti-social?

Naw. Most pirates moonlight as boat dealers.

Heh, some truth to that.

Well, of course. But as I stated, it is the commonly accepted model for
pirates, or did you miss that reference, Whine?

Of course you did.

Seems counter productive.

Not if you want one that drinks. :-)

You must have stayed in better hotels than I did, always liked
elevators and the hot tub myself.

Harry,
Actually there are lots of people who give a **** what Chuck thinks
about this and other topics related to boating. He is actually paid to
give his opinion on boating topics.

I would guess there are some who care what you think about certain
topics. I do know there are lots of people who don't. That is the
wonder of Usenet, you get to post your ideas wither someone gives a shot
or not.

You do seem to think that rec.boats is your group, and the only ideas
that are worthy of a post are those that you are agree with. You are
incorrect.
