Oh please - neither one of them has any idea who Harry Krause is.

My point exactly...

Tom is upset with me because:

1. I don't kowtow to his "knowledge" of boats.

2. I think he overreaches tremendously in his praise of etec outboards.

3. I'm unimpressed by his right-wing politics.

4. I was even more unimpressed by his one-sided "moderating."

I'm also a bit weary of these old soldiers reliving their glory days in
uniform, which seems to be what many of them do here.

I get to maybe three or four of my local union's monthly meetings a
year. I'm an "inactive," so I don't participate in contract talk or
elections. I just go to the more "social" meetings to keep up with old
friends and new friends. About half the members were in the military at
one time or another, and some of the older farts, the guys my age, saw
service in Vietnam. None recall their "glory days" in uniform. They're
living in the present and planning for the future.

I wish this was a boating forum again, but I really doubt it ever will
be again. Instead, it reminds me of an country store with guys in
rocking chairs wishing they were young and still able to shoot...and I
mean shoot anything.

I have to admit, though, that you are probably the funniest little
schitt in here. There's always one like you, it seems.

Just because you seem to always talk about things you don't and will
never understand.. I don't recall any "glorious" stories by any of our
heros here.. But you just keep making it up as you go along..
