|What is idiotic about that?

(1) You can't be reading this, nor respond to it, without
"subscribing" to rec.boats.... even Google groups is using that
terminology.

(2) You posted that you were "out" and that others would know how to
contact you, if they wished. That clearly indicates that you wouldn't
be "here."

Idiot was probably used as a pejorative term and was not proper.
Addict is more accurate, descriptive, and carries no pejorative
connotation. You are merely addicted to posting personally held
dogmatic positions at rec.boats that tend to anger other posters.

You've made worthwhile contributions in the past. I simply don't
understand where you are coming from, now. This is becoming as surreal
as my last (verbal) conversation with Skipper.



Gene...my admiration for you grows daily. My only dispute with your post is your posit that calling Loogy an "idiot" is not proper. He's about as dumb as they come.
