If you look back on the older thread, many of us pointed out what the real problems were. In a rotten summer like this one, it's understandable that there will be an overload of boaters on nice days, the few that there are. But I have to wonder about some previous reports of the calm, quiet and peaceful lake. Are there boaters that can actually block the boneheads from their mind completely?
Is there an organization setup to rid the waterways of Boneheads?

Isn't that what the safety cert was aimed at doing?
I hate to say this (it won't happen in today’s economy either) but I think any one who took the test on the internet should have to re-certify. I know when the internet option was available there where many cases of people taking the test for others as well the obvious easy task of keeping 2 windows open - one with the test and the other with the training material. Basically rendering the process a farce for anyone looking to take advantage (and we know who they are).
The proctored test should have been the rule from day one.
