| Is there some particular reason that you feel compelled to launch a
personal attack on John H? A remark that "a fundraising pitch for this charity or that might be
somewhat out of place on a boating NG" is one thing- but calling him a
"boatless old man", predicting an endless stream of spam emails from
him, and accusing him of being "on the take" are all personality
oriented responses. If you don't care for his use of the NG to drum up funds for
apparently worthy causes, you have every right to express your
opinion. (I don't care for the way some people use the NG primarily as
a vehicle to make crappy personal remarks, and have expressed that
opinion). But it's also my opinion that
it would be more constructive to address John's observed behavior
rather than
speculate what he *might* do, and use that speculation as the basis
for disparaging personal comments. |

====== From what I have been able to see the old man has done his share of personal
attacks on me. Can you remind me again where you complained to JohnH for those attacks on
me? Both of you live by double standards. |

| I suppose he thinks his use of the 'boatless' term is bothersome to me.
Somewhere along the way, he misread or miscomprehended something. The Chesapeake Bay is one of this country's great natural resources, and it
is going down the tube quickly. As a member of the Chesapeake Bay
Foundation, I've no qualms about posting both information and requests for
help in the newsgroup. |

| Jimmy sure didn't like it when HE was boatless, and someone said
something to him about it. |

| Jim you have absolutely NO recourse when it comes to personal attacks.
Do you remember your attacks on me, my wife, and even my school aged
children? I can show you plenty of examples if you like. |

| Notice how the little weasel is whining about personal attacks? I
wonder if he even remembers his personal attacks on me, my wife, and
even my grade school aged children? |

| Let's say that's true. Did you enjoy being personally attacked? Did it improve the tone of the group? Was it useful, productive, informative, or even entertaining? Did you think more of less of JohnH after he attacked you? Do you suppose that attacking JohnH in retaliation will decrease the
probability of future attacks on you in kind, or increase it? Does anybody know, or really care who "started it" , way back when? |

| It is true. Stop worrying about what I post. Don't like
it..don't read it. If you find it necessary to netcop, do so equally. Otherwise shove it. |

| That's true, and he really *was* boatless. I'm sure he misread something,
which he's done many times. Actually, being boatless would be a boon to my
finances right now. It's 'spring commissioning' time, which means tune up,
etc. |

What are are you now...a full time fundraiser?
No wonder 75% of monies raised for some charitys goes to 'adminintrative
costs'. |

| Since the old man is boatless and cannot golf he obviously decided to make
this his new hobby. Expect to receive a never ending stream of emails from
him asking for contributions to all sorts of causes. I wonder what his take is? |

| Do you get that television commercial for credit cards where the banker has
his hand in the back pocket of various people doing various sports/tasks
etc?
John reminds me of that banker. |

| Jimmy, the public display of a donation in the Race for the Cure site is
purely up to the individual making the donation. You seem overly concerned
with that idea. Are you afraid your donation is going to show up, or what? I displayed my donation amount for two reasons, as proof that it was made,
and as a challenge to anyone to beat it. Go for it! |
