In fact, I think every trophy ever handed to a racer should have his name engraved on it, now and forever, because without the legendary Smitty, none of the, not none of us would have any reason to even try.

But hey, let's not let facts get in anyone's way. Check out Post number 3- http://www.seriousoffshore.com/forum...tml#post469189 Sounds pretty much like someone being quite complimentary. And the pic in post number 5? That you Smitty?

There's about twenty people on here that are so enamored with themselves its hilarious. Most of them have worked long and hard to wedge themselves into this story even though they have absolutely no connection or nothing to do with it.

This post will last all of about ten minutes, since that's all the longer anything with any truth ever lasts around here.

Do you seriously think you were the first and only person to ever realize there were line and fitting differences? You certainly must as you continue to dine out on your story about how you put seriousoffshore on the map with your article.

I think these people would be interested in your literary prowess- and they may be able to supply you with the recognition and validation you so crave- http://www.pulitzer.org/how_to_enter That might come up short in satisfying your need so this may fill that void- http://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/physics/ I've alerted them that you'll be in contact.

I do owe you an apology for stealing from the photo of the fuel lines off of my friend's boat that I took in my driveway. Who do I send the royalty check to?
