Pstrick---you see Jerry's picture there? I'm gonna err on the conservative side, I'm gonna say he's got at least 40 years more of living than you under his belt, and all of it in the real world. Like most mature adults, he's well aware of his abilities and limitations. I can read a Chilton's manual as well as you can, and I actually helped out in my uncle's gas station/garage in Attleboro when I was younger than you. It doesn't mean I'm gonna be the one to drop a head gasket in my truck engine and then take it 7 miles down the beach. At least, if I screw it up and my engine dies, my life isn't in danger. Those holes between the Elizabeths are very unforgiving waters. I've been out on Middle Ground when it was as calm as a lake, and then, about 1 in the afternoon, the wind comes up anout 20 SW as the tide swings outgioing, and that wind blowing against the falling tide can have you bouncing around like a cork.
You have to learn to stop being defensive and show people the proper respect when they point out to you, politely or not, that you're speaking out of your rectum. Because as I pointed out to you before George pulled your plug, most people can tell when someone knows what they're talking about and when a guy is regurgitating something he's read about somewhere. I stopped being that guy because I know it's pointless, and because I thought you had turned a corner in your maturing process. But, there's no shortage of guys who haven't had their fill of dances with you that will eagerly break your gonads until you lose it and force John, or Walter on NJStriper, to punch your ticket, too.
