Don,
I don't start OT threads, and don't bring OT posts into on topic posts. In
the last few years we have seen many people leave, their absence has never
changed the tone of rec.boats. Let Harry take a week's vacation, and the
tone changes immediately. The problem today is even when Harry is on
vacation he posts to rec.boats 8 hrs. a day.


So you say Harry is solely responsible for the direction this newsgroup
follows. That's almost a backhanded compliment...that he has such a
hugh influence no one else can re-direct or re-energize the group.
Good thing Harry isn't pushing religion....y'all be praying at a new church.
