Chuck Gould offered a nice solution to the problem. Read it in the thread
"Starting a new newsgroup".

I will be interested to see if everyone agrees on his solution, especially
those Chuck names in his post. As I said, I am in, but will bow once the
agreement is breached by one of the "Dirty 7", as well as the likes of doug
kanter, Dave Hall, bb, JohnH, ignoramus and basskisser. ;-)


JohnH? Why him? From what I've read in his posts, he comes across as one of
the good guys.

I like Chuck's idea and emailed him off NG about it. This NG is seriously
dwindling in membership because of the nasty comments and constant OT threads
(which can't really be avoided, since it's winter and our boats are all
winterized for the season).

.....just my humble opinion. Take it for whatever it's worth.
