I agree that we don't want to censor the posts, but it is so tiresome wading

Tiresome? Serious question: do you have all your faculties? If there are
100 posts some days in rec.boats, I read about 25 of them, and simply
skip over the ones I don't want to read.

Takes a couple minutes to read the posts I want to read and post if I
feel like it.

Methinks these complaints are much ado about nothing.

Methinks you don't want anybody to miss your posts. )

If you're only seeing 100 per day, get a better newsserver.
rec.boats, on newscene, usually turns 500 a day, or more.

I didn't state I was only seeing 100 a day, I stated that if there were
100 a day, I only read about 25 of them. If there are 500 a day, I might
read 35 or 50. There are any number of posters whose stuff I simply skip
over for one reason or another. Or message strings I skip entirely. Or I
only read a couple of posts from particular posters (Dave Hall, for
example), because the posters are so demented no purpose is served by
reading more than a dribble or two.
