I'm Totally Lost Here .............................
Sorry guys. I'll delete this app, and never post again. We all have to start somewhere. Goodbye.

On 10-12-2012, you posted asking for information on buying an older Catalina. In a period of three days you received two pages of replies with enough information to rival Practical Sailor's 5th edition of
Practical Boat Buying Volumes One and Two.

In those replies was a pretty roughly worded one from an individual who was a little unhappy from a previous restoration experience or was overly happy and not too sure about what he was saying to whom or how.
You then posted on 10-16-2012 asking about a For Sale area on this site:

Nothing wrong with that and I think I can boast to asking far worse. Your question was answered in a perfectly friendly and respectful manner.
In your final post of the above thread, you stated:
I just didn't know about it being called by a different name. I saw no thread called for sale. I was mostly bothered by being told that I'm going to take a big fail. I'm not stupid, and think I have enough knowledge to be able to get a survey and can spot trouble fairly well on my own. I'm not stupid.
Rich, if you're still listening (or reading), I just can't see how you can take offense to this site for the thoughtless remark of one person when placed along side the mountain of valuable information you received from all the others. Or am I missing something here ?
Perhaps it's time for you to take a step back to see this in a better perspective. To re-quote a previous comment, "Hopefully you'll stick around, there's lots to learn and lots of good people on this forum".
