Perhaps you're right, Bob, and you clearly take pleasure in this which speaks a great deal to your actual motivation. Maybe it's the innate need to respond to things that we feel are inappropriate or potentially harmful. What I think you miss here is that many RO's feel strongly about this site and for various reasons, the nature of your posts reflect inaccurate information and/or seem to have the intent of goading others into non-productive discussion.
I don't understand your intent, nor do I understand the game playing of having 3 or more account names. Can you explain why you feel this is necesary, other than to indeed play games?
I am far from being a valued contributor in terms of both numbers of posts, or more importantly, contributing to boat related information. I don't know enough to chime in on such matters. I do enjoy bantering with some RO's and have opinions on NBR topics. However, I would never take leave to behave as you do for the apparent fun of it that you have.
As someone who has never responded to you before and who has no real axe to grind, I would ask that you stop this nonsense to better allow this site to get back to its real goal - boater education, which you do not add to, and more importantly I think, derail it from that goal. Think of it this way: I, who have much to learn about boating, read one of your posts which you present in what I now know to be a tongue in cheek manner. If I didn't, I might take your ideas/advice which clearly would be ill advised. Would the thrill you get out of doing this be worth the possible harm it might cause others? After all, you call yourself "Captain." That could be reason to listen to you.
I don't know if I've made my point clearly enough to you here, but I'm sure that you understand generically. Do with it what you will.
Respectfully,
Melanie
