I won't speak for longtimer, but I see his generalizations as sarcastic comebacks to the generalizations that have been made the other way. If you don't want generalizations, that's fine; don't call them evil when they go against you if those you defend are making them a standard practice.

Now, I have a question. You say "I also think you missed the point on the whole, we don't leave the dock statement that was posted earlier. I think it was AnchorBayDon that had stated that and it is true, believe it or not. Go out to AnchorBay on any given day and count the percentage of boats that are still in the doc. My family has been there every weekend for the past three months and yet the boat has left the slip twice for a max of about 1 hour. During this time we have also only seen two other boats out of there slips and both for short periods of time as well. When we take these trips to the lake on the weekend, it is not necessarily to take the boat out but just to relax on it, get the kids out of the house and enjoy just being at the lake."

So the question is: are you, as someone who admittedly hardly ever leaves the slip, in a position to make a comment on what kinds of boats are out and about on the other 43,999 acres of the lake? Do you think that maybe, just maybe, people who admittedly use their boats more often than you might have a better idea about the other boats on the lake?

Another question: Are you really trying to use to use the boat traffic in January, February and March (the "last three months") as an indicator of boat traffic in June, July and August? Do you REALLY think that the months are similar?
