[Island Girl]

Just because someone has not come to the lake in a long time does not mean he/she is not welcome. I have read the posts in both forums and have found that FormulaOutlaw has respected the tone of this forum. The tone on the offshore forum is a little rougher but that has not been displayed here (except in the posts others have copied from their other forum).

I may not agree with all of the posts here, but all are welcome as long as they are not abusive.

Don is the boss here and gently enforces the etiquette. He has the right to monitor the posts of those who may get out of hand.

I am grateful to have the forum and winni.com to share and read about others' experiences. I can turn off posts from those I do not wish to read.

I would not like to see us become so pc that only "correct' opinions are displayed. I would not want to get shot down because my opinion may be different.

The phrase someone taught me a long time ago to always think about is "I could be wrong."

Live and Let Live!

As for the speed limits.... here is the reply I received from the sponsor of the bill

"As you noted, this was at the request of Mr. Fay of Fay's boat yard, and referred to mostly the so called Cigarette boats whose noise and speed are well known since there introduction to the lake."

I personally am against the bill as written as I do not believe that it solves any stated problem. I agree with others that recklessness, not obeying the 150' law and inexperienced boaters present more safety issues.

Just my humble opinion.
