And can BI, or someone else for that matter, explain how I can be wrong (according to BI) when I copied and pasted his own words, including the “up to 130 mph” language, and then quoted him, correctly I thought, as denying he ever said that there were boats actually going 130 mph? And who said anything about camp directors going 130? Where did that come from?

That was MY attempt at humor. I guess mine was to subtle however. because not everybody got it.

The thing behind it is there has been a boat on the lake that is capable of 130 mph. However, as people have pointed out, I have no way of knowing if it ever HAS gone 130 mph. That may seem like a fine point but we like to pick nits around here.

Anybody out there ever picked a nit? I have.
