I had a small dry powder extinguisher in the boot of my company car as part of the emergency kit provided. I carried a boot crammed full of samples, freebies and literature so when I opened the boot and discovered the extinguisher had spontaneously discharged I was horrified bu the mess, that powder is very fine and most of the contents of my boot just had to be binned. I sensibly decided that this was not a job for my domestic hoover and used the one at the petrol station, I’m not sure if it survived! I agree that setting off a dry powder extinguisher in a boat or my home would be a very last resort.

“She” is the cats mother. The OP is currently scouring g the inter web for a suitable hard hat and Kevlar vest.

Ain’t that the truth? Last night I posted the sad news of the death of a valuable member of the boating community. I did so because CWDF did not appear to have this information but Thunderboat did. It was suggested there that someone should put a post up so that those that wished to on this site could also post their condolences, should they wish to. Well Muggins here offered to do so and I added a link to the Thunderboat thread as there are some very fitting tributes there which, in my opinion were worth reading. That’s when it all went to hell in a handcart. We can squabble all we like but the bottom line is that this animosity between them and us serves no purpose other than to show us all at our worst. So please can I make a suggestion? Stop it! Just stop it!

What I was trying to say was that somebody with responsibility for this site allowed, implemented, instructed someone (take your pick) to insert a piece of code which alerted the mods (who I was attempting to keep out of this debacle) to any link or mention of the Thunderboat forum. Re reading my post perhaps I should have used the phrase “controlling the forum” instead of “created the forum”, however I would then have been in the firing line to be accused of giving the mods a kicking. In light of the above Athy’s interpretation of my comment was at odds with my meaning and so his comment re the creator of the forum cam across to me as sarky point scoring. So we were both wrong weren’t we?

As Thunderboat has not been in existence for that long I feel your reply is a little disingenuous
