Kent:
The sad thing is the fact that folks will question the seriousness and
validity of the ad. Did Jim cry wolf one too many times with some of the
folks on the list?
In all seriousness, if he is selling the boat because of the recent flap,
how much did he really like the boat to begin with? To me, it seems just
too extreme and silly to sell a boat because of something like that... I
mean, c'mon!
Good heavens, I'm a guy who wears my emotions on my sleeves (just ask
some of the old timers here on the list) and if I acted like this every
time my feelings were stepped on, I'd be out of sailing entirely by
now.
