: : 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.

: : P.S. Stephen I don't see a last name, I'm not afraid to use mine.
: Wow... WHERE do I begin?
: First of all, the whole "Captain Cousteau Nursing Home" remark was quite humorous, although I'm NOT quite sure what you meant by the assertion that I have too much time on my hands.
: Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't address your comment about how people "shouldn't give a &&## about a FRITZ movie"... if so, then WHY are you visiting a SHIPWRECK website? Was Mr. Williamson MISTAKEN in assuming that people who frequent a GREAT LAKES SHIPWRECK website might actually CARE about the FITZGERALD??
: Please, don't make this any easier than it already is.
: Next?
I think what he means by us not having as much time as you is simply a notation of the fact that you spend all this time on a website that tries to make everyone happy by sharing information with each other, doing nothing but criticizing anything posted since the time you logged on. Why not spend that time out on the water like every one of us would prefer to be doing? What do you accomplish by cutting down every remark? people are entitled to their opinions whether they are stupid or not, and for the record, I have seen none yet that were stupid. And yet another thing for the record, Most of this yak has been somehow related to the Fitz and a prospective film about her, right? Why is it, then, that there is NO intelligant conversation about the wreck, or making a movie? All I hear is people saying "go make the film, I will watch it as soon as it leaves the drawing board and hits the big screen" Followed by your critical remarks.
What are you getting out of this? What is your master plan thats unfolding?
