[Rhodes22-list] Chet, you seem to be an O.K. guy, but...

[chetc]

Hey Ed,

I appreciate all of the opinions and advice you and others have offered, but
I think I detect a bit of a condescending tone to your reply. :-/Yes I have
seen pictures of various mast raising systems, but I have not seen anything
from general Boats that is advertised as a mast crane, with a picture and a
price. Maybe there is a "secret" catalog for parts and accessories of the
Rhodes 22. It is possible that I could have somehow missed it in my HOURS of
searching this site, Google, ask.com and others, so please forgive
me.:confused:

If you recall, my original question was whether or not the system described
in the literature THAT I FOUND IN THE ARCHIVES worked with the IMF...so YES,
I did take the time to study the home page. Did you ever think that someone
new to the list might not be able to find their way around as quickly as
someone who has been using it for years? Or, heaven forbid, an experienced
Rhodie might save a new guy some time and trouble without the high and
mighty attitude?

So, I guess I would say the same thing...you seem like an O.K. guy,
but...lighten up on a newbie, eh?;-)
