First, I have never been "run off" this site. Yeah, I'm really hiding something with listing my previous usernames in my signature! I've got news for you ThirdFace, Doug always knew who Sparky was, and there was never any doubt who Freeebird was. Don't believe me?... ask him.Tom, unfortunately you'll just have to get used to it like the rest of us have because that's just the way he is. He has been run off of here (and other sites) more than once but he always manages to come back, often under a different screen name (notice the original poster of this thread is actually Randy under someone else's name that he took over). Time has proven that we simply cannot get rid of him. He will argue any point he can, and then change up the wording to argue a different point when he is proven wrong. Agruing with us and anyone he can get to pay attention to him is sport to him because he has nothing better to do with his time.
I posted these pics of HIN plates simply to disprove his statement of there being no such thing as a HIN plate and that all HIN's by law must be engraved on any boats transom after 1972. I am in a large marina right now and could post pics of different HIN plates until I am blue in the face, but Randy will argue that they must all be illegals. He says the '86 Viking is illegal and somehow not a HIN plate because there is no space between the 12-character HIN and the CV at the end which simply shows the model as a convertible. What a joke.
The fact remains that HIN plates do exist, they are used by many manufacturers for decades and they are perfectly legal, PERIOD.
You on the other hand have played both ends against the middle as long as I've been on this site. You are the epitome of a hypocrite who has gone as far as to call me on the phone to encourage me to post something negative about other members who don't live up to your "standards". I trust I don't need to expand on that.
