[Rhodes22-list] Back channel communications

[Michael Meltzer]

also like all the info on the list, if for no other resion it will get 
peer reviewed, save a mistake from compouding
Frankly I have not been reading the list much, to much beatibg a sinlge 
subject to death,  I know why bill wanted to duck the motor question, 
but still it left a bad tatse. I really wish both side would work it out 
on the motor, The fundamental problem is rodger is a engerier. By 
training he will be offended if someone claims is facts are wrong, By 
training he will defend his fact with the same standard that he use with 
his peers and a court of law.  people are driving him nuts and with 
cause, I also know a little about motor. some enlightment, lower unit 
the same, shafts the same, controls the same, electical the 4 stoke are 
more up to date(new design), mounting hardware the same, and the big 
news the powerhead are pretty much the same. I stayout of it but not to 
hurt any feelings you know,  but some compare and constast would be 
helpful, like weight, controls location, electic vs manual vs both, 
shaft lenght, fuel use, prop and gearing, hp needs in condictions, next 
years EPA rules(just state them), winter storage, need for starting 
fluid and crab cleaner on a boat, therastat issues in salt water, 
flushing, tools and spares, fuel line issues, fuel storage issues. real 
world usage. Now after everyone has put together something, save the 
fucking power head issues for last!!!!!!

What the fuck do I know.
