Lurked through the boatered site a few minutes ago.

Some of the threads there are not that much different than here. Some guy put
up a question about licensing boaters, and there are no end of conservative
posts
slamming CT. and other states for being "under Clinton's big-government
influence" etc.

Less Hall, the moderator, chimed in to scold the poster suggesting that a
minimum education standard might be a good thing with a smart-ass remark along
the general line of, "with all the good stuff you have posted here, why would
you post this liberal rant?"

All the folks clamoring for a moderated group- go take a look see. All you wind
up with is a group that generally reflects the politics and prejudices of the
moderator.

This just buttresses the point I have made for self policing... via
ignoring inappropriate content. I would no more want George Bush
editing my postings than Bill Clinton.

Heck, Gene, at least Clinton would be able to *read* your scribblings here.
