Simple, drop the "rec.boats.building" from the "send to
group(s)" line and we would not have to read your
psudointellectual BS in a boat builders group!

Aren't boatbuilders at all interested in the welfare of loons.
Here (sci.archaeology) you get a chance to see a whole cluster
of loons, in formation. Many of you may never even get a chance
to see the Swedish Greater Loon from close view, here you get to
see our semidomesticated loon "Inger E" in close view, not to
mention the "Yuri" loon and a few others. Think of the
opportunity you are missing, ;^).

Unfortunately your crossposting has not brought us any fresh
expertise from among the boat-builders or the New Zealanders.

snip a bit more

Then FFS cut the cross-posting and leave us alone here in boat-building land.

Here's a clue (from New Zealand, no less...):

Tanx.
Yup. Down here in the Southern Pacific we don't know a lot about boat
building. Well apart from building boats that won the Americas Cup
twice and losing it to a Swiss team of New Zealanders.
Having a multibillion dollar small shipbuilding industry.
And as for sailing: well apart from the "Royal Akarana" and other
sailing races and having an Offshore Masters certificate from my
commercial fishing days I'm totally ignorant of ships :-)
Oh and I better tell you that helping build a Mullet taught me nothing
about boatbuilding !
Sheesh

Well done Stephen.
Must be proud of yourself having a go at the Special Olympics
You have just demonstrated the sort of person you are..
The submarine service could do with your help They need deckhands !

No, just using them as an example of how simple it is to make bad assumptions
about others on UseNet, anbd how idiotic it is to argue with folks you don't
know.

Yes, the picture makes fun of the Special Olympics, which is not kind. My
apologies.
The analogy, badly put though it may be, still holds. Here we had/have two
guys arguing, who in all likelihood have never met face to face, or spoken on
the phone, each convinced he is right, and neither is ever going to convince
the other of their fallacies.
It will degenerate into a "he said" "she said" thing soon, and then there will
be quiet for a while until someone starts another unprovable argument.
So, what is the point of the arguing? Are you really going ot get a warm,
fuzzy feeling if you win? Is there a prize (apart from the ego thing)?

You have just demonstrated the sort of person you are..

And you have just demonstrated the sort of person you are. Nice job.

Sorry, George, but you point just whooshed past me.

Do you want to continue the cross-posting that has yielded nothing (at least
nothing benlizross wanted), or do you wish it to stop?

Or, are you simply trying to tell me that NZ is a great boat and ship-building
nation, in which case you could have saved you breath, since I knew that
already.

As much as I'm not given to insulting people I shall, in this one
case' make an exception !
Yes I thought it might but then I do not often have to reduce my
language to an 8 year old reading level!

I'm sorry but what part of 'this is not a crosspost' eludes you ?

All this started when Yuri crossposted into your group in the faint
hope that you would all spring to his defence..

Yes. I stick up for the people who through no fault of their own have
physical and/or mental disabilities and very bravely get on with life.
They don't need the jeers and predudice demonstrated in your post.
And okay you apologised.
Now, you have attracted my attention I shall lurk awhile and read the
group

Well, if you can't explain what your point was, I guess I missed nothing.

I'm sorry but what part of 'this is not a crosspost' eludes you ?

The part where it never was posted?


All this started when Yuri crossposted into your group in the faint

And no-one did. We merely asked the crossposting to stop because the juvenile
arguing was interfering with _our_ juvenile agruing. ;-)

Strangely, so do I. It was a bad example.

Do that, and welcome.
