Hello All:
I recieved this e-mail and decided to move this over to the forum as it is not a report at all. So you can kick around this issue on the forum. I removed the senders name for confidentiality.

Report::

I have read the reports and rebuttals between the jet-skiers and recreational boaters and truly believe all have lost sight of the real point.
Common courtesy should always be followed, as should all laws regarding the use of that area. If a sticker is required to use an area, you should have it on your vehicle regardless whether you consider it to be some sort of riduculous political plot.. If you don't, then you deserve the resulting fine.
Next, it is also common courtesy to launch your craft as quickly as possible to free the ramp for others to use. To do anything different is blatant arrogance and those people have no business utilizing public access.
Next, boating safety is the most important consideration, and the most common infractions I see committed are by jet-skis and recreational boaters. It's time for all to realize that owning a boat or personal watercraft does not give us a license to be an inconsiderate ass. We all pay for the right to be there, and all deserve the consideration to pursue the purpose for which we are there.
Last of all, these battle lines would never have been drawn if all would show common courtesy, and actually follow inland marine LAWS. It's time for people to be held accountable for their actions, and as a general rule if that ever happens, the jet-skiers and inconsiderate boaters will pay the price.
If you don't know inland rules or can't follow common sense, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS ON THE WATER!!!
