thanks and mahalo

You're kidding right . . .

[yetigrey0864]

thank you for your consideration

Feasibility....this means you need to write an SOR (statement of requirements) for your boat. Without establishing this, you'll go nowhere fast.

At first glance she is a pig. Many great boats are built with no plans. However, if you teach rhino, why are you using a pencil?

[PAR]

Yetigrey0864, you've initially posted what by any reasonable account, is a child's rendering of shall we say a well burdened vessel and asked about feasibility. You continue in your initial post with not having a computer yet, showing an interest in "trawler stories".

Frankly, I can't imagine anyone taking your original drawing seriously, regardless of you intentions, let alone the remainder of your post. Now you're offended with what was a very subtle reply (by me). For God's sake you really wouldn't like it if I offered a my true opinion of what that first drawing suggested. If this is all it takes to get you to go over the top, may I recommend some medication and possibly a therapist.

Paul...have a cuppa...or two...you seem to be a smidge impatient today. He IS working on his Ph.D after all and a little tight on time to do up a complicated Rhino rendering simply for us to consider. After all, he IS here to solicit information on a substantial design initiative...It would hardly polite to knock his initiative in seeking the best quality advise on the internet from anyone who owns a keyboard now would it?

hat means Ph.D. ???
Philamons Disease?

PhD means a Doctorate...Accrediting you as a Professor and granting you the title of Doctor of Blah Blah. You usually get tenure at a college or university and some reasonable amount of respect if it is warranted. It is the highest level of education in a specific subject attainable in the US and probably most other countries. You are generally qualified to teach said subject to advanced students seeking to obtain their own PhD in the same subject. They are often given as an 'Honorary' title to those who don't qualify but are perceived to have given to us unwashed masses something valuable and substantial.

Yeah, sometimes irony does not travel through the net!

Doctor of Philosophy; an advanced university degree, a doctorate usually based on at least 3 years graduate study and a dissertation; the highest degree awarded graduate study.

Was MY definition.........................if there was´nt Philamon.

Whooooosh........ as the hair ruffles and nothing else does!

Glad I don't have to read the dissertation.

[PAR]

Must have been my breath . . . though now that he's removed the lovely hand work of his first post, no one can see how truly bad the rendering actually was. I could have penned a better rendering in 4th grade, but I had a gift . . . , but clearly not as fine as the freshly departed doctor.

So, did I over react in light of such a drawing, to those of you that actually saw it?

If it is not good enough to leave up, its not good enough to put up. Take your lumps with the rest of us who sometimes embarrass ourselves. God knows I've done it a few times and they are still there. Everybody has a good laugh and moves on. It is not that big a deal. Besides, there may actually be something redeeming in the piece which can not now be appreciated.
