[Rhodes22-list] I Wish To Change My Vote

[Bob Weber]

Lloyd, My boat is the best.  The equipment and set up is the best and only 
way.  Anyone who dissagrees is WRONG and probably a communist sympathiser.  
Some people just like a good fight.  I just spent a weekend with a trial 
lawyer and he would dissagree no matter what.  i got to a point of just 
telling him that "Your right, but the guy who wrote the test thinks 
differently."
