I usually read them and if I have something to contribute I do. If I don't
then I don't.

I'm sure the proportions will change as the boats go back in the water.
But,
my question is still a valid one which some people can't answer. What do
you
do when you see a boating question that's of no interest to you
whatsoever?

Doug,

I know my post will not make a difference, but what has happened is that
most of the contributors who liked the forum as a group to discussion
boats,
have long left this group. The regulars now come here to discuss
politics
and ignore most posts concerning boats. As I said, I know the group
wont'
change, but Joe's posts is a fair request. At one time, this group was
90%
on topic and 10% off topic, it is now about 80% OFF TOPIC and 20% on
topic.
Since the group is not moderated, it will go whatever way the regulars
want
it to go, but I am sure we will see less and less boating topics as this
group is taking over by those who think it is a political forum. It
appears
that the regulars want this to be a political forum.

If you see a topic regarding bilge pumps, but you have no interest in
that
at the moment, what do you do?

Doesn't this board have a moderator? It's really a downer to see a
once
fine source of information on boats and boating in general get
polluted
by
non boating garbage.

There are other sites where folks can spout off on non-boating
topics.
