Forum members,
A statement has been made that the majority of posters/members of this forum own boats that lay between 30,000# and over 100,000#. The insinuation, I take it as, if you are under #30,000# the poster vaguely suggest that another venue may suit 'small boaters who think they have a "Real" trawler'.
I can not think of a common simple format to reflect the claim. At this point the claim reflects the statement purported to have been made by General Ike Eisenhower prior to D-Day that "X" number of casualties would result. When challenged to the number given and how did Ike know, Ike responded, "Let those who challenge the number prove the number wrong"
As I read the responses from various forums where pictures of the owners boat are depicted or described I seriously doubt that the claim would stand up.
Myself, I am fairly thick skinned, the frustration is allowing the subtle suggestion hidden in a claim as stated having me wondered if the invitation to join this forum carries a hierarchy depicted in the pecking order of boat size. "Mine is bigger than yours!" cried the bigger of the two little boys.
Just saying,
A.M.(Al) Johnson-Ketchikan
