: George, you are a self-aggrandizing gasbag.

I would agree with that, to an extent. But those of you who have been on this board for a year or two have seen quite a change in George.

A long time ago he posted that he had a flush-hatch system and wrote (paraphrased), "my flush hatches have no apparent means of access, no cable release from the cockpit, etc. Everyone else is too lazy to find the solution." Basically he told us he had a great system, but gave no hints of how he did it -- he posted that only for his own smugness.

About a week ago he described, suggestively at first ("it can be found at Wal-Mart"), then more detailed in a later post, his method of using magnetic cabinet latches.

George's posts still contain some barbs, but he has been much more civil lately.

Give him a few more years -- George might become a decent human being.
