dealer (we removed the clips from these tow hooks on the ships we sold).

Steve,

You must be setting some sort of record for long sentences. One of them broke the meter at 293 words. Consider shortening them and your posts will be MUCH more readable.

All you English scholars out there while I applaud the level of literacy in this group, Mr. Fried was writing from a place of emotion while disseminating good information, his thoughts and perhaps we all use this site somedays as a catharsis. I respectfully think grading someone's composition in the wake of a tragedy is a tab bit insensitive and perhaps even mean spirited.. C@ny0urea%ly notun$erst#ndwhatthism*ans.

I like Mr. Fried, and I've exchanged emails with him for over 20 years, generally
about the ASH 26 E; however, his content is buried by his writing style. All we
want is normal sentences and paragraphs, so we can understand what he wants to
tell us. As written, it is a waste of his time, as most of us will not be able to
(or will not want to) slog through it, or will misunderstand what he is saying.
I'm one of those people that bailed out a quarter of the way through, as I had
lost track of what he was trying to convey. Keeping sentences short and using
paragraphs is about clarity, and remarking on it constructively is a asset to the
author who, after all, wants to be read and understood.

I suggest he have a friend edit the content when it's more than 200 words in
total. Even famous authors have editors! Also, for lengthy remarks - just one
subject per email.
