As a rule I will only respond if I can help but I am on here just about every day sometime 3 or more times a day if I find something interesting.I prefer this site over the other one because there are a lot more serious offshore boaters here and have learned alot.This is the reason I LURK

I'm mostly a lurker, but post now and then. I actually read OSO for years before I registered. Had I registered back when I discovered the site, I would have been in the top 1000 members. Oh well...
One day I'll pay the money and get the pics, but now it's like a game for me to see how long I can last with out paying.

I'm sure I sound like a cheap bastage, but to me it's the principle of the thing. I'm a Donzi owner and so I contribute significantly to donzi.net which is supported only be members' donations. Thanks for the reply.
