Somebody running a website called talkaboutboats.com is picking up items
from
rec.boats and running them on his site.

Just wait til he gets bogged down with a lot of off-topic political crap (oh
wait, after reviewing his site he already has)

From his "About" section...
Talk About Networks Groups is a refined subset of popular groups that are
posted and archived to our servers using Usenet. Talk About Network Groups
eliminates the need for a newsreader and lets you search this archive in the
same way you would search HTML pages on the Internet. You can also use Talk
About Network's Groups to post your own comments to a newsgroup.
