"WSMS might beat you on a technicality. His argument (and mine as well) is that in the pre-cruiser days, boats would never pass another boat in distress; the key word is "never." The fact that it has happened (and it has; there is no argument there) in the post-cruiser days is in indicator that something has changed."

Yeah, but you can't measure this. Therefore, it's moot to try to debate this. By asking WSMS to gather the best info he could, it would show this is a no-win argument. He can't prove it. I can't win it either. I was pointing out the obvious...which you got and I haven't heard from WSMS, so I suppose he has, too.

"The debatable quetion is: exactly what has changed? It's a debate that can't be won (by either "side"), since all of the "answers" are really opinions."

Well, not really opinions. He could have gone out and gathered tons of examples, but I could have, too. So it would have been tit for tat.

"One question: it would seem that any GOOD experiences in the pre-cruiser days would count towards WSMS, and any bad experiences in those days would count towards you. So put me down for no bad experiences, and too many good ones to remember. Sorry! :-)"

Why would the bad experiences count toward me? I wasn't arguing there weren't any bad experiences, was I? I thought I was just pointing out the GOOD in the today's current situation. Why would I have to be on the "bad" side in the past? I didn't say anything had changed......just I still CONTINUED to see boat courtesy. You can't put words in my mouth. WSMS is the one who said things had changed....NOT ME. I am saying I see boat courtesy today.

But if you want to get really technical, I have only owned since 2001. So what do I know, really? I just see good. But that still doesn't mean he has a sound argument just because he has owned longer than I. He can have an opinion. But it's not fact until he can prove it. That's all I was saying: PROVE IT.
