      Well, I for one will be very sorry to see you go, Bernadette. But I respect your reasons, and I wish you well with the new boat and all your future endeavours. Please tickle Bosun behind the ears for me, and know that you'll always be welcome back here if ever you change your mind.

          I've quietly been following your posts and progress for some time now. Will certainly miss them and hope you'll reconsider. Fair winds and good luck.

              Are you referring to the response posted by Schoonerust that got his wrist smacked when a forumite mashed the button on him?
              If that is the case then Bernadette you know you have friends here, stay with us.
              It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

                I too will be sorry to see you go. Don't let one guy's behaviour affect the rest of us negatively. We'll miss your thread too if Scott delete's it. Maybe you could come back and post some pics of it once it's completed? Fair winds following seas and I hope your dad does well. Good luck,

                  Of course it is a responce to srus.
                  Quiting the forum is a self fulfilling prophecy that the thread is bringing the forum down.

                        Losing Bernadette's build thread will be a real tragedy. These are the kinds of posts that make the Forum a real place.

                            Well, that's unfortunate... Once again, someone who is actually building a boat takes offence at statements by one person and the rest of us get punished. Truely, I'll never build a boat like Bernedette and her dad are...never build one like Knottyboy is, but I would surely like to watch and learn from them. It's the nature of the beast though, isn't it. Mostly we really don't know one another. No investment in "friends" on the monitor. Someone says something that makes us unhappy... Fine..all we have to do is "poof". I would like to point out however that there are quite a few folks here who have shared your concerns about your family and your safety in the storms last year... Folks you do not know who have wondered about your well being, safety and admired your build. Many "anons" who lurk in the background learning.Want to leave?... Sure enough. It's your decision, your threads, your information. Sincerely, thanks for what I have learned watching your progress. As the others have said, my best wishes for you and your dad. But, I'm not a bit amused at what appears to be an unfortunate reaction to anothers actions. Regards: PaulT

                              In the US this perverted idea of “blood and soil” over “constitutional principles” is the most radical and anti-democratic and anti-Conservative idea I have heard in my lifetime.
