Default Can someone help me find the boating website instead of this political site

Capt. Bill, you are one of the regulars who make great contributions to
technical questions concerning marine engines. It looks like you occasional
will get into the political topics, but that is not the main reason you
come. It appears that you come here is to discuss boats. What I have
never understood is why you view the newbies who come into the group and
complain about the signal to noise ratio, as being an OT whiner.

The OT threads have gotten out of hand, and they will probably never stop
but can't you understand when someone comes to rec.boats, they are amazed
that 80% of the posts are concerning politics? Even the people who crudely
express their concerns, don't come close to the mud that is slung in the
majority of the OT discussions?

I am not trying to get into an argument with you, I just can't figure out
why you find the "OT whiners" so outrageous?

Let's say you notice a subject header like this: "Which anchor style for
this kind of bottom?"

Now, let's say you have no interest in that message? How will you handle
that situation?


Why, he would read it. Just like all the other OT whinners in this group.

And by the way , sasiinc, this is a newsgroup not a "website".
