: I think that we all don't have as much time as you do, and maybe its getting near the end of the season and all us armchair idiots, are in our wheelchairs getting as much field work done as weather permits and when winter sets in at the Captain Cousteau Nursing Home we'll have more time at the free computor in the lobby to adress your many issues. If you want to make a movie on the Fritz who gives a %%##. Try to make it a little athentic, Hollywood doesn't always treat history very well(I suppose you believe the movie Titanic was a documentary)the ending will be all cunjector anyway. Sorry but the Fritz is too over rated. Many wrecks in the Great Lakes I believe are more interesting and it was by no means the biggest loss of life. Maybe we should get Mr. Lightfoot to write songs about other Great Lakes disasters to take some heat off the Fritz.

You may want to hire another nurse to fetch your dictionary because responding to your "rebuttal" is just too hard to resist!
1) You insist that the "FRITZ is too overrated": Don't you think that IF this statement were TRUE, you would actually know HOW TO SPELL THE NAME? (It's FITZgerald)
2) Your belief that, since the FITZ (NOT Fritz) sank WITHOUT a large loss of life, it is somehow inconsequential MAKES ME SICK. What you're insinuating is that the deaths of 29 men is "no big deal"; that BODY COUNTS are what really make a shipwreck important?
Misguided beliefs like yours make my work here SO MUCH EASIER!
