(I suspect there is a carbon monoxide hazard there, but don't know if it exists closer or farther than 37 feet from the towing Malibu-type skiboat).

Madrasahs - just to let you know, it is OK to have an unexpressed thought every once in a while.

I certainly appreciate the fact that you participate in these forums, as I've learned many things from your posts. However, whereas most members contribute for any one of several reasons -- to educate, to entertain, to help, to seek advice, etc. -- it seems to me that your motivation is simply to complain... alot... and about everything.

Although you have a considerable amount of knowledge about many subjects, please remember two things: (1) Nobody likes a "know-it-all", and (2) it is possible for someone's complaining to reach a saturation point with the audience.

PS - I don't plan on responding to your reply, so you're certainly welcome to (and I'm confident you will) have the last word on this.
