Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
I can’t believe you suckered me into upgrading to the Gold Membership. You should be paying ME to be here! LOL. What a way to drive a photo junkie crazy, post pictures she can’t see! I think I’ve been had. 
Thanks CMG. 
Have you noticed that I’m the top poster over there?
I want my money back! LOL
BTW, sweet rides everyone! I would absolutely be thrilled to take a spin some time. No going out of your way for me though. Maybe I can return the favor by taking a picture of your boat zooming down The Broads.
I’m just a rookie amateur. Who knows what you’ll get, but I do get lucky sometimes.
Hi Mee-n-Mac! Glad I’m not the only one drawn to the Dark Side!

When the forum was rebuilt I believe there was conscious decision to reduce the snide comments and barbs that were common in the old Winni Forum. To that end it has, shall I say, a different "culture" than here. Now I'm used to a little back-n-forth when discussing any given topic but some people aren't. To that end I think Don has tailored his (yes it is his, he owns it, it's his playground) website for those people. This doesn't bother me at all, frankly there's more than enough barb tossing these days IMHO. That said I do think there was some misinterpretation of FO's comment bout "keeping APS in line". I figured it pretty much the way it was intended (presenting a differing opinion) but I guess it's like parents when the kids are screaming at each other - Dad says "you all just shut up !" and there's not much judging as to who started it. (I recall an old Bill Cosby routine along this line)
Anyway just thought I'd follow (Winni) RG and b8caster over to the "Mafia" website. Too bad the SL thread got closed before I could fire salvo #2. No doubt I'll get another chance as I'm sure the issue won't go away as the lake gets more crowed.
ps - newbie (me) comes to the forum regulars and spouts off ... hows it feel (all thought processes aside) ... maybe Don felt the same way ? It's one thing when a bunch a regulars get together to shoot the s..., err ... crap. Everyone knows each other well enough to not get insulted, but when coming to a new place ... well ...

I pitty people that think they need someone censoring and moderating a written conversation so as not to harm their delicate sesibilities..
I never used foul language or threatened anyone , just presented the facts .. He somehow feelt this was antagonistic
Im the kind of person that If you tell me not to do something, im going to do it even more.. I dont like "controllers"
I went by "HUH" over there ..If you go back and look at my post im sure you will find that I always tried to present the facts , if not just so I could get my posts put up ..Belive me there were plenty of post that got censored because I had said what I realy felt ..
Hey Don , you reading this ?? Grow a set !!!

The whole crack about 60 boats with open exhaust was a joke, just one of many on this thread. Apparently a lot of people up there don't understand what humor is.
FYI, if you see a "smilie" at the end of a post it usually denotes there is humor involved.

Formula I think he knows what you were saying but as you can see those guys over there will take quotes out of context to forward their AGENDA.

Down here we don't need to run mufflers. 90% of the offshore boats down here run open exhaust. They don't hassle us at all about it. I rather doubt that a visiting boat from out of state running open exhaust for one day would make the Earth rotate backwards for these people. But I damn sure am not going to go out and spend eighteen hundred bucks for a set of mufflers to run for one day and I also think that people have a lot of nerve to even suggest that. If running no mufflers for one day is going to cause THAT BIG a problem, screw it, it's just not worth the hassle. I enjoyed very much boating on Lake Winnie in my 242 with twin small blocks with open exhaust back in the early/mid 90's and never got hassled. But not enough to lay out that kind of green to boat on it for one day.

Are you clicking browse, selecting image and then clicking the upload button to the right??
Your pic could be too big and needs to be re-sized.
