I don't understand...

[Leroy Eckert]

I started this so let me explain.

Yes, in fact it was cryptic..(ambiguous, hidden, and possibly occult with Smoke
and Mirrors. Even magic. )

The message was very simple. It was about the BB family. In a family you
cannot pick and choose components, you are in or your are out. I may be out
after this.

If we are to be a BB family, mechanical functions are just a part of the family.
While every owner is responsible for their own financial matters, we as BB
family members routinely express our opinion of value, and in doing so somehow
attempt to protect current members and wannabee's. Our efforts also protect the
value of our coaches. Value may not mean anything to anyone else, but I will
protect my interest in my coach, whatever it takes.( the most important part of
the cryptic message.)

I respectively invite you to review the original post. Some how you cannot own
a Hatteras '61 then a '74, while a M380 suddenly becomes a "little to rich for
my blood" (would that statement be cryptic?) I didn't make this up, I read the
post.

Being a prior owner of one of the finest offshore boats ever built (Warlock,
Corona, CA) , the post was not about boats, it was about family. It was
cryptic, and my brain is sideways. I'm protection the value of our coaches.

Dale,

It think it is great. I'm an ex-boater myself I won't hold anything like
owning a 74', or a 10' Livingston for that matter, against you. When I saw the
post I thought that Leroy was sending a cryptic message that I didn't
understand. I don't think anyone takes exception to you boat. Please don't take
it that way and stay with the group. I bought a Blue Bird after the boat for the
same reason you seem to be interested in them. Actually, my impression is that a
lot of the forum members are either current or former boat owners.

Stick with us Dale, You'll enjoy the experience. A lot can be learned that
will benefit all of us.

Ive never had a motorhome and was led to believe Bluebird was a high
quality, strongly built, well finished coach worth the money. I heard
there was great comraderie among the owners, so I looked in on the
group. I read a post from a fella who had to sell his RV and I simply
sent him a note saying I might be interested. My email address is
Hatteras61, and that seemed to set off a flurry of busybody's intent on
making a big deal about a boat name. Point is, I think you guys
reactions are really petty. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

PS: I used to have a 61' Hatteras. Now I have a 74'. Whatd'ya think of
that!
