Essex502...you seem like a very eloquent man, and I'm sure you have mostly positive intentions, but even when you are trying to make peace you gotta take a pot shot at other board members spelling deficits. That "Im better than you" attitude is what got me so pissed at you in the first place. The funniest part is that your last post is grammatically incorrect!
"gee I humbled to be thought as thoughtful" ?
Uh ...anyways...Spelling doesn't make a man, and furthermore it doesn't determine a man's ability to drive a boat properly.......my suggestion is hop off your soap box before you get pushed off. You might be taken more seriously if you stop talking to us like we are your kids, we aren't your kids.....we are however the men that own our own boats, and make our own decisions on how we choose to drive them. I am open to your safety suggestions if you can learn how to express your views in a LESS condescending manner.
By the way that last line is a SINCERE offer, no sarcasm intended in context.
