HALO (and 'Fire') ....

This followed three consecutive bumps that had zero response from anyone else:

22nd Dec, then 06th April and then 10th April.

- a brief reminder of what my actual response was:

Originally posted by turnturtle given that the last three posts are nothing but blatant commercial plugs, i'd say that 'words, not action' is very much at the heart of this class....  #buysomeadvertising

given the use of a defunct hashtag, I think most here would see it to be posted with irony, and a subtly dig at the tone of the latest 'bump' and the ongoing air of superiority about those 'keyboard warriors' he so readily wanted to market to.  The initial responses, which included Mike himself, were also jovial and well spirited until he turned to silly personal accusations and spat his dummy out.  I'd imagine more because he got called out as a cheat by one poster - not me or Russ, that's largely been ignored by the rest of you.

Oh well, guess we can all go on ignoring the Blaze variations and whatever they churn up results / PY wise when they get inevitably get bumped again.... that is pretty much what happens in the real world from what I can see, so we might as well adopt the same outlook here.  As for the Icon... well, at least Rondar do advertise, admittedly the new boat won't have the same name, sails, hull or rig apparently, so it will get a badly needed fresh start from the legacy its incumbents have left it with.
