Your exact statement:

It is surprising to me that a person who is associated with media presents their information so sloppily.

Your statement as written is a blanket denial of the ability of the state of NH to revoke any boating certificate. The statement is then modified by the word "especially" to imply special protection of certificates issued out of state.

In his response Skip clearly documents the ability of the state to rescind certificates issued in NH, thereby demonstrating the first part of your statement in error.

Skip then concludes his post by saying that, indeed, certificates issued by out of state agencies may not be revoked but their acceptance in NH can be rescinded. In essence you will still retain your out of state certificate but it will hold no value in the state of NH. You would be able to boat in Maine but not in NH.

Skip's statement is more accurate and contains more referenced facts than yours.

While the technical process of dealing with in and out of state certificates is different the outcome is the same; you would not be allowed to use your boat in NH.

I suppose that accurately depicting what others say is not a prerequisite for those with a predetermined agenda. Is this how the media works?

Is it also a characteristic of those in media to "need to be right" and to belittle and attack people (and their professions) who point out their mistakes rather than admitting their mistakes and moving on?

Just wondering?
