[Rhodes22-list] re the Nyberg report

[Goodness]

Stan I personally am glad to hear from you.  Sadly this day and age it seems that the humor of sarcasm is lost on many.  My wife however has perfected the art and my children revel in the subtle art of this type humor.  My youngest is 8 and she is starting to figure out everyone isnt serious all the time 😂.
I always get excited when you post because there is usually some spice and salt in it.
I love my Rhodes!  But i also bought a used com-pac because i can order parts from their website.
😁

My offer to supply Allyn Baskerville with design information about the General Boats Mast Hoist Crane is hereby rescinded until such time has he  a) make a good faith effort to buy one from General Boats, and  b) fails in that effort due to a lack of responsiveness or follow through on the part of General Boats.

Things like reporting to the List that the Rhodes uses a Dwyer mast.  Why bother; the misled will find out on their own.  Peter's reporting has been accurate so I suppose his getting sloppy has moved me enough to comment.    Peter, before your definitive reporting, I don't recall your checking with me before going to press:
>>> ("8) Another list member has recently asked me for details about the Rhodes 22 mast raising and lowering gizmo. He had wanted to buy one from Stan (General Boats), and Stan had said that he would bring one to the Annapolis show, but he didn’t. So, I’m in the process of putting together that documentation, and I’d be happy to send you a copy as well.")
