I do find it humorous that of late a couple of rec.boats.cruising
posters are now posting/crossposting here because their "home" newsgroup
is dead, dead, dead.

Why would you find it humorous that an attention-seeker like Neal
would crosspost? Or that the cruising group is "dead?"
Newsgroups are dead only because former participants are dead.
Usenet isn't what is used to be. That's not "humorous".
It's just fact.
Boating is alive. There are plenty of active web forums.
There are a few experienced boaters here who can provide some useful
information, and are willing to do so.
That would be Wayne, Greg, Richard.
Otherwise, this is a mostly a political clown and insult show.
But nobody is here against their will.


You seem to have missed Harry's stated goal - the demise of this newsgroup.
