If you had an employee, would you want one that was a veritable sponge, wanted to learn as much about the buisneess as possible, wanted to do the best job for you possible and busted his azz, or would you want a guy who clocked in, said the boss was an azzhat, took long lunches and did just enough to keep from getting fired?

If he bugs you that much, dont read his posts or block him. Or do you just enjoy having something to biotch about?? :cartman:

I have known Dan for several years now and I would be very surprised if any one out there knows as much about performance boats as Dan does, not just outerlimits but all makes and models! Remember this is OUR sport, so lets all keep this from getting personal.

If that is/was the case (and Mike is aware of it), then it's all good. I don't think that's the case since Dan's not an advertiser status or commercial status. Get it? He can be a great employee for OL while NOT posting his "opinions" and limited experiences on OSO as "expert". :D:D:evilb:

Well then, why don't you call Fiore yourself and ask him about dan so you can get rid of the ants in your pants and rest your weary mind. While your on the phone with him you can discuss your position as Outerlimits new marketing director, so situations like this will never happen again. :lolhit:

How do you know he's not "authorized" to post? I assure you he does more than "sweep" the floors and mike is more than aware of his postings on OSO. Looks and sounds like you have a hard on for Dan. You know what they say when you ASSUME, right? Makes an a22 out of U N ME. Guess this saying was wrong... you're the only a22 in this case :poopoo: :whistle:

thats a pretty bold statement...

No offense but performance boating knowledge extends way beyond re-gurgitating numbers and figures. A salesman can do that. Performance boat knowledge comes from someone who does most if not all of the following first hand:

1. Actively drives performance boats on a daily basis
2. Spends endless amounts of time in the bilge of a boat doing motor work
3. Keen knowledge of hull design and fluid dynamics
4. Knows the inner workings of outdrives, gears ratios, material properties, etc
5. Understands the interaction between motor, outdrives, and user controls
6. Vast knowledge of common boat electrical components and circuitry

The list goes on and on...Simply being the PR person or office assistant in my opinion doesnt get you there.

I would much rather consult the likes of sick stinger for motor questions, glass dave for glass work or hull design, mrfixxall for outdrive questions, etc...People who actively do this stuff on a daily basis.

I thought the same thing. I looked at that engine bay picture and I kinda felt like a serial killer after I cut up bodies and put them in my freezer. Sick and twisted - who does stuff like that? That chit aint right.
