[Rhodes22-list] Bilge Pump and reply to Dan!

	Hank said:  "If Stan gets a boat in for recycle with a bilge pump,
he always removes it."  Then how did my recycled boat come with a working
bilge pump?  Is there a bilge pump fairy?
	Dan, 
	    I DID NOT RECOMMEND PLASTIC STAY FASTENERS!  I use stainless
steel cotter rings and occasionally rigging tape on those.  Our liberal
northeast journalist has a tendency to write so that he makes it appear that
others say something that they have not, in the fashion of the New York
Times and CBS.  I follow the traditional proven safe method, which I
recommend to you.
	    I have a problem of being attributed to unsafe practices.
Furthermore, I learned the importance of protecting sails from chafing from
none other than Stan Spitzer so make sure when you talk to him you correctly
state my method.  I do not want to incur the wrath of Sir Stanley.
