Hi, I take your point about an immediate response, but there was an immediate response that just appeared to attack the suggestions or thoughts that he wrote, rather than a constructive reply,
I personally think that there should be a targeted approach to enforcement of the existing licensing arrangements, and if BW can't afford to pay directly for the people to carry out this enforcement then I think they should devise an incentive scheme that would encourage private enterprise to take on the role of enforcement or certainly removal of unlicensed/uninsured boats etc. as unless people can be made to believe that the laws will be enforced they will continue to flout them. ----- Original Message ----- From: Roger Millin To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2009 10:13 AM Subject: [canals-list] Re: Shades of ''The 3 Horseshoes'' Enodreven wrote: > > Hi, > > I have read all of the replies to this thread and I presume others by the same chap, and must say that he appears to be the only one with any proposals, everyone else appears to be just saying you are wrong, if what he has been saying is so wrong then some of you need to put forward your alternatives, not just keeping on with you are wrong argument. While you may have a point in some ways, I cannot fully understand why you expect an immediate response in any discussion to carry with it an instant solution/counter point. In my experience of many meetings in industry etc you throw discussion to and fro and, towards the end, start to draw conclusions and create proposals to go forward. Some meetings, heaven forbid, never come to a solution and have to be reconvened. Isn't that exactly what is happening here in our cyber-space meeting? Luckily I can say this as a disinterested (well, perhaps 'independent' would be a better word) observer as I have voted with my feet on UK boating so cannot be accused of being a wealthy, poor or NIMBY boater here on the UK system ;-)))) Adrian's views have always been too 'on the fringe' for some people's taste but occasionally there is a gold nugget in there IMVHO. ;-)))) Roger nb Prepareforincoming [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
