Actually, I'd venture to say that I'm this newsgroups foremost source for
info on the old Mercury inlines. My boat is besides the point, my marine
shop on Lake Harwell is however gathering steam.

Since I have not had an outboard since I was 17, I dont really follow those
threads. That probably explains why I dont "see" you.

I'm sure you would, and that's been your trouble here - you think anyone
really *cares* whom *you* killfile and why,

I post it so others can simply cut-n-paste it. I only post it to those who
complain about all the OT BS here. If you dont want to use it, fine, but
dont make that desision for everybody here.

you're not that important so
deflate your hat size.

Heh heh...talk about inflated heads...let me quote you...

"...I'm this newsgroups foremost source for

Easy there big fella...

Further Chris, the whole concept of the killfile is the wrong approach
here - because except for less than a handfull of people, the ones that
post
OT are also some of the more informed boaters, they just seem to enjoy
killing each other over politics for amusement.

Not the point. The way I look at it is, if someone is too dumb, rude, and/or
inconsiderate enough to purposly post OT here, and disrupt the group, that
is not the type of person I want *any* advice from...period.

The real way to "fix" this
newsgroup is by using the FILTER and setting it up to hide/delete the OT
posts. This can be done quietly, easily. and without a lot of fanfare. And
when a political junkie decides to actually post something ON topic - it
gets through.

I do use filters as well, but I dont know what you mean when you say less
"fanfare".

You seem to enjoy making it "personal" which is why you've been
continually
attacked in here.

It is personal...that's what kill files are all about.

And being "attacked" here? I don't remember being "attacked" here. Unless
its being done by those already in my kill file, in which case, I couldn't
care less. Again, those people of such caliber, I don't care for anyway.

I like the list I'm getting now very much. When I see someone crying for
help because of all the BS one has to wade thru, I will continue to offer
help. I will also continue to point out those who I kill file.

Lastly, I find it very interesting people are so concerned about being kill
filed. I'm not ashamed of anything I've done here, but I still wouldn't be
offended if someone kill filed me...in fact...maybe that's what you should
do to me...since it appears you don't like hearing from me so much.

Take care.
