Yes, I am a proud member of the NHRBA, a recreational boaters group devoted to increased boater saferty through education.
I am surprised to learn I am a "ranking member" of winnilakers...whatever the heck that means? I am a subscriber to that and number of other Winni, Ossipee, snowmobile and powerboat websites. Heck, I even visit the Winnfabs site regularly, I hope you're not going to hold that against me! But you should know better than to lump people together based on what internet sites they belong to. I can think of much better ways than that to judge the character of an individual.
I enjoy participating in all different views associated with outdoor power sports in the greater New Hampshire area. I refuse to be pigeonholed into one particular group or another, preferring to draw my conclusions by borrowing from the best ideas of all differing opinions.
Its unfortunate that we won't have an opportunity to chat about these subjects as adults off-line. It is extremely difficult to form correct opinions about individuals based on internet chit chat. I found that to be extremely true when I met some of the characters lurking here at the first winnifest celebration. The folks I had chatted, and sometimes argued with on-line were the nicest bunch of people I'd met in a long time at the 'fest, and nothing like I had imagined them from my 'net exposure.
Anyway, as I promised "the Don", I'm backing on out of this boating debate here and returning to my format of providing information on general legal issues (and some electronics/radio related chit chat with DRH & the Skipper & Crew).
Anyway, my offer for you to call me (and you can do so anonymously, I promise not to trace the call....heck, I'll even send you the money for a payphone ; ) still stands, I hope that somtime you feel comfortable enough to do so....I'm really not a bad guy and I love to talk politics!
Good day to you sir,
Skip
