There is no "new and improved" Harry emerging. If the attacks aimed at

what boats, motors, trailers, or gear they possess.

Know any posters like that? :}

The volley has to stop somewhere. And it isn't necessarily have to be at
the servers feet.
Anonymity is a defense mechanism against any number of real and perceived
threats. I don't think it's manly at all to make public, details about
your life that might draw the attention of unsavory characters. That is
just poor judgment.
I will support any legitimate efforts to clean this place up.

What is NOT manly is criticizing the life, boat, gear, whatever of others,
and refusing to put into play, for example, what boats, motors, trailers,
you own.

Know any posters like that? :}

I fear an impending setback. I'll bite my tongue for a bit longer.

I am merely pointing out that it is not manly to attack others for
their, in this case, purchasing decisions, when you haven't the balls to
put your own similar decisions into play.

Let's say I posted that I had just purchased, oh, a Ford truck, and that
you posted, about 327 times, that you didn't think much of Ford trucks.
So, at some point you were asked, "So, what truck do you drive?" And you
responded, "Oh, I'm not going to tell you..."

That is not "manly" behavior.

Do you think it is?

I've been looking around for a new anti-virus/spyware/firewall
provider as I'm highly dissatisfied with the Norton products - not so
much on the technical end, but their incessant begging for renewal

I stumbled into AVG on the recommendation of a friend. She says it
works great and prefers it to Norton by a factor of 10.

Anybody else use it? I'm leaning towards AVG, but just want another
opinion.

FWIW, The Grisoft AVG Anti-virus was the lowest rated of the most recently
rated anti-virus products.

I've been using the McAfee suite for several years, and I've not, ever,
(knock on wood) had a virus.

I have used the free version for several years, and am completely
satisfied with it. As to a firewall, I have used Zone Alarm free version
also for several years. Both products serve my three networked home
computers well. Beats the devil out of the footprints of MacAfee,
Norton, et al, which I have also tried

And the price is right.


I installed Zone Alarm when I went to cable internet. I was having a lot of
interruptions, and when I called Cox, they blamed it on Zone Alarm. So I
went with McAfee. Haven't had any of those problems since.

What it is is a case of one person exercising poor judgment and trying to
goad another person into doing the same thing.

Harry, I agree one hundred percent. Do you remember saying negative
things about Wayne's and Eisboch's choice of slow "RV" boats? Okay,
now, you said that it's not manly behavior to do that without showing
what YOU have. I'm sure we'd all like to see some proof of ownership
of a 36' Zimmerman like lobster boat you claim to own.

Telling people what brand and model of boat you have is poor judgment?

Sheesh.
