I do find it humorous that of late a couple of rec.boats.cruising

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.
I haven't seen any "useful" boating information posted here in years.
Some years ago, Richard posted some interesting videos of a voyage he
took in the Navigator he used to own. Before he died, Skipper posted
some interesting and useful videos on trailering. We had a couple of
real dealer/repair guys here, but the crazies chased them off.
I never said or implied "boating" was dead, although it is pretty much
dead in rec.boats. I find it amusing the rec.boats.cruising guys
crosspost here because there is nothing going on there. I guess they
don't know there is nothing going on here, either.
The best boating posts are on the web forums.
I don't have any use for "Captain Neal," but, unlike the majority of
right-wing clowns here on rec.boats, at least he has a boat, apparently
it floats, and he spends time on it.
