And you would be doing what with this post?  Could this possibly be a case
of the pot calling the kettle black?  Do the words "practice what you
preach" have a familiar ring?

I'm sorry, I must have missed something.  You say something is your point
and here it is, then you include not a single word of what you said.  Could
that possibly be because every word you said was wrong or did you big hard
drive suddenly get smaller.

Sorry Bob, but you can't use Strike to get you out of this one.  Either
stand on your own two feet, like the man you ought to be, or go hid in a
corner like the child you are emulating.  You, who say you never discuss
what you don't know about, did.  You, who don't know about EPIRBs presumed
to tell others what the term means and does not and defend an advertisement
you had not even bothered to read.  You who are quick to tell everyone else
to do their research before they open their mouths, didn't do yours.  You
got caught, you got called on it and now you are mouth dancing and trying to
divert attention to others, your usual pattern.  So just call Christian and
me idiots, complete the pattern and be done with it.  You lost before you
even got started good.  Time to give it up.

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion.  My opinion is that the difference
between your post and Christian's was several times the gap between mine and
Wade's.  BTW, look back to see what Wade said about someone else mentioning
406 MHz EPIRBs and then tell us all who you think that someone might have
been.

You're free to go an bully people somewhere else.  Of course, if I happen to
run across you being one, expect more of the same.  I have a very short
tolerance for bullies and you've more than exhausted your fair share.Don't
let the door hit you on the way out.
