They seem to be showing a dislike of people who have experience in a relevant industry (marine in my case) and then use that experience to back their suggestions up with explanation, whereas the "blowhards" (again using your word) offer no such experience themselves.
Intriguingly they also seem to have some grouch against the marine industry, perhaps just yachts in particular; yet I would be surprised if any of them have had any involvement or even exposure to it else they would have backed me up. Oh my  , I see that you are one of those making a snide reference to yachts  , I should have seen that. I hope that you can explain that away in more than one sentence else you should be demoted to the mail room or placed on the redundancy list with the others. |
Actually, FWIW,
I grew up on boats.
Both sets of my grandparents were boating folk; my one grandfather preferred power; the other sail. I could take care of teak decks
almost before I could ride a bicycle and I grew to loathe cleaning brass at the same time. I probably have grooves in my skin to this day from wearing life preservers in my toddler years and I could say "regatta" before I could walk. I lived shipboard every summer, well into my early teen years.

well aware of using Oxalic acid--which is
WHY I like Barkeeper's Friend over Comet, et al. I just don't bloody well
care that it's a few pennies more than making it myself--which, I think, is what I said.
