Skipper,
It won't happen. Rec.boats is the way it is because that is the way too
many people want it to be a NG of political trolling. If you tried to get
this group moderated, you would have a few people who would be very vocal
about keeping the group the way it is, and those who would like a moderated
group, left a long time ago.

So where are you going?

Consider that some of the people on this list post exclusively OT
political stuff, and others post primarily OT political stuff, and it's
easy to see why the group has taken on the overall
nothing-to-do-with-boating tone. (That tone includes this thread, and
my participation in it).

Today was an eye opener for me. While it is obvious Harry Krause is the
root cause of the sickness infesting this NG, I didn't realize until
today that four facilitators must share the blame with him. In this
regard, Harry is right. Bert Robbins, JimH, Doug Kanter, and P. Fitz do
seem to be dedicated to making rec.boats the embarrassment it has
become.

Appears the *only* resolution to the problem is a moderator, IMO. I'll
be heading out soon, so cannot take the lead in this campaign to salvage
the original intent of rec.boats. What about you? Will you take that
lead and further volunteer to be moderator for this NG? Shall we start a
petition?
