a new disease ?

[PascalG]

seems like many of our northern friends are suffering from accute Harditis these days. It usually strikes around the fall, at that dreadful time of the year where boating season comes to a end and northern boaters have to put their boats on the hard. Symptoms are irritability, especially when reading about southern boaters enjoying their vessels. It can also lead to other conditions like paranoia where the the person suffering from Harditis takes offense at anything that can be seen as an attack on their favorite boat brand. Other symptoms include turning into elementary shool teachers correcting spelling and gramatical errors as well as a complete lack of compassion.

unfortunately, there is no cure for this disease which must run its course usually over the entire winter. Temporarily relief can be achived by attending the Miami boat show in february or taking a short boating vacation in florida or the caribbean.

Harditis seem to be affecting a growing number of boaters and groups, including some of what used to be the among the more friendly one line boating forums...

Southern boaters are urged to refrain from making this years outbreak worst by mentioning how nice their boating weekend was, poking fun at snowbirds invding their states and removing any boat brand reference mention mentioning any on water incident.
