There is so little boating content here, as a direct result of the
abuses by Harry, Smithers, Gould, NOYB, Hertvik, Herring, Basskisser,
Bert, Jack Goff, JPS, and of course the reanimated Skipper that the
group is irretrievably in the toilet. Most of the folks in the above
list are off topic at least 90% of the time.

As long as Harry's hobby is stirring up his fan club, and as long as
there are a dozen people here for no other reason than to pitch Harry a
bunch of crap everyday, the NG is toast. It would take a group of
adults to break the cycle. It doesn't even take 100 percent
participation- but the first step would probably have to involve
certain individuals reaching decisions that their behavior in the group
will be determined by their own conscious choices rather than by
involuntary reactions to something posted by some "commie, pinko
liberal" or "conservatrash".

I do not believe Smithers, Gould, NOYB, Hertvick, Herring, Bert and
Skipper are the problem. JPS can be ignored, but Krause, ahh Krause, now
there is *the* problem. Nothing can be done while while that troll posts
his personal insults here. Do you have a final solution to the Harry
Krause infestation?

We can petition that the NG go moderated, but that has its own problems.
Where can we find one who will allow occasional banter and still control
Harry? Let's face it, part of the attraction of this group is the off
topic banter.
