Indeed it was; however, Wolfeboro Matt didn't divulge the draft of his boat, so answers were problematical from the gitgo.
A fair question to follow might have been: "What happens to the water that is drained from Winnipesaukee...Do Lowell and Lawrence (MA) use it as a drinking water source?"
Any good answer
would not have introduced the word "primaries" (Outlaw) nor, subsequently, "Massachusetts" (Propeller).
As they will state in U.S. courtrooms, "Your Honor, they
have opened the door".

Listen to yourself. All boat operators are responsible for their wake no matter how big. If some big boat does damage then they should be held accountable but that does not mean we should impose a length limit. If all boats are operated properly & with enough distance from shore then there is no problem. If you are complaining about boat wakes causing white lumps of foam & damage to your shore line then all motorized boats should be eliminated because it does not matter what size, any boat will cause these issues.

Ever seen Captain "B"
cited for wake damage? Has
anybody?
Remember
556ZP from the Olde Forum? His boat ("less than 30-feet") didn't even leave a wake! Remarkable boat, that.

His posts were
also just one giant paragraph.
Hmmmm.

Agree? Well, Skip agreed with me once -- regarding the PFD-less kayaker.
"Mac" has steadfastly disagreed with me, even stating that two of my three first boats -- all built by me -- were "too small for Winnipesaukee".
Today, while it's true I wouldn't take them out on most "boating" days, there are days that are suitable -- the same days that you'll sometimes see rowing sculls out there.
Lake Winnipesaukee hasn't changed (on the surface, anyway), but the boating environment certainly has. Any disagreements there?
As for "refuting":
One
very rich post needed refuting -- by anybody -- was this paraphrased one: "...I've installed
Captain's Choice , and
religiously followed the law...".
Very interesting, but it followed a promise not to refute the poster again.
As for "dominating":
At the olde Forum, there was much less "Thread Discipline". Posters would even change the thread title mid-thought. It was entertaining nonetheless -- right, FLL?
When it comes to discussion, the best ideas will rise to the surface. (They're all "opinions" anyway -- what the hay).
Besides, at this moment, 1,345 "views" have been made at this thread.
'Can't be a bad thing.
