[Rhodes22-list] Replty to Ed about his reply to Art (very pungent reply, others need not read)

[Todd Tavares]

Calm down Ed.

Why all of this venom?  Art was only asking a question not making a
recommendation.  If you don't want to debate his idea, at least tell him
why (you think) it would be a waste of time and effort - as Rummy did. 
And even then it would be your opinion. You do not have to get hostile. 
Maybe you could begin all of your post(s) with a disclaimer of civility
for newbies who might think your attacks are the norm on this list.

 What good would pictures or documentation be?  Roger P. used to give us
advice based on his empirical, documented data and experience.  He KNEW
what he was talking about hostility drove him off of this list.

Try to relax brother.

  Columbia 23 (very pungent reply, others need not read)

  Mr. Czerwonky:

  Regarding the Columbia 23, there used to one among us who sold
  columbia
  boats. Imagine that? In his later life he bought a R22, imagine that?
  Unfortunately he is sailing the wild blue...

  Reread Slim's and Rummy's replies.

  You said, "never have used the lower boom position". And then you
  make a
  recommendation to drill a new hole? "why not add an intermediate hole
  for
  the slide to click in, somewhere midway?" I recommend that you begin
  all
  your future post with a disclaimer of knowledge of the topic for the
  benefit
  of newbies who might think that your recommendations are based on
  solid
  information rather than ethereal speculation.

  Rummy offered advice that you practice. You do not need high winds to
  practice setting a Rhodes 22 mast to a lower position. You just need
  to do
  it.

  Are all your posts with the same forethought and knowledge base?

  And where are your pictures of Ron sailing? Where is the
  documentation?
