Bill,
The moto of my previous post was your disposition to discuss and question features and ideas with objetivity, without omissions aimed to leverage sales. In my opinion this means that you are self-confident and honest.
Your sales-oriented posts are usually focused in "new ideas" which are actually your inventions or were already present in your designs 20 years ago. You fundament the claims with scientific objectivity but simple sentences, helping people understand the toys and tricks of our sport.
There are very few people who can claim to have invented and put in practice so many relevant solutions, improvements, inventions and ideas in sailing. Of those, even less are available for open discussion (and questioning!) of their ideas. I admire your work and your atitude.
Cheers,
