whined:

Am I the only one that thinks that people are posting an unnaceptable
amount
of OT posts about political issues?

No. Others share your opinion.

There are dedicated newsgroups for
discussing such stuff. At the moment it seems like 50% of the posts in
here
are non-sailing related.

You're low. It's more like 70%.

If it bothers you, why don't you post a sailing-related topic?
