Nevermind; I don't want to get involed in a discussion that asks whether or not you agree with the comments of the person who has provided the forum upon which you are asking for criticism on his comments.
That's silly, Gary. Our opinions don't carry any more weight on this forum than anybody else's. We LOVE to see debate on topics like this. Who cares what I think or what Rick thinks.
And with all the offshore sailing that you do, you are one of the best people to comment on this subject. You probably have in the past, but it never hurts to do it again.
