Apparently not or you would not be continuing this.  Heard any word on which
EPIRBs the Aggressor Fleet is using?

I know of no self proclaimed gentlemen on this list.  If you mean me, I
challange you to support your statement or admit it is a prevarication.  Of
course I don't expect you to do either.

I presume you mean me again, so I'll respond.  I'm simply following my own
advice to others.  Strike posted something I thought might be intended for
me rather than the group and suggested that if this was correct, that it
might be better done privately.  I recommended exactly the same thing to you
when you claimed I was responding to your conversations with others.  Just
because you chose to ignore what you insist on for others, does not mean
that I can't strive to be less hypocritical in my own actions.

 > This "gentleman" wants . . .

You are ignorant of my desires and incompetent to represent what I want to
others.  You are violating your own rule by speaking on that which you have
no knowledge . . . again.  If you believe I am mistaken, I invite you to
cite your qualifications.
