It's all political BS. A good reason to read other boating groups
if
you are interested in boats.

I looked through 50 posts here. I skipped over the lawnmower outboard
discussion since I've seen it and contributed to it in previous
discussions, I'm not interested in old sails, and I know enough about
internet security already for my purposes. Oh... I guessed the "dog"
discussion was not about boats, so I skipped that one, too.

No offense, but if you want a "boating discussion group," it would
help to have some interesting boating related posts, eh?

Harry,

Are you lobbying for OT posts?

Who wouldn't expect the traffic here to slow down if/when OT posts are
eliminated? For those of us who tune in to read boating posts, there
is no disappointment when the crap is gone. It actually saves a lot of
time wading through the BS that should be here.

Some of the best groups I read are small and on-topic. If you post a
question you don't have to sort through 100+ OT posts to get your
answer.

Is your last comment some sort of way to condone the inclusion of
political and other OT posts just for the sake of adding something to
read? There are many other groups for many other topics.

Dan

Off topic posts bother me not at all. I can read them or not, and
usually can decide that based on the headers or the responders.

I'm looking forward to the next discussions here of boat names,
Bayliners, and expertise dispensed by non-boaters.



Harry, it is Christmas Day. Chill and enjoy the day with your guests and
family.

The forum is now a pleasant place to come. We don't need bayliner
bashing, politics, name calling or cussing. Things are running just fine
now. Enjoy it.

Merry Christmas.


I'm perfectly chilled, Jim. I simply find it hypocritical that those who
complain about OT posts have no qualms about posting OT posts on topics
that suit them.

Hey, there's always hope we'll be visited in 2006 by another crossdressing
hair dresser whose wife used to be a cop and who now needs a flashy name
for that 1971 bowrider with the 1958 Scott-A****er he/she/it picked up on
eBay for only $5000.

How'd you do for Xmas? I made out like a bandit.




A couple shirts, some tools and a new tool box for the boat. When we sold
our 32 footer I gave my son all the tools and tool box I carried on it. I
now have to restock the new tool box with some basic necessities. I already
have a pretty good collection of stainless steel hardware that will also now
stay on the boat.

I really don't ask for much on Christmas I am at the point of my life where
generally if I need or want something I buy it. The joy I get on Christmas
morning is mainly from watching the kids and my wife open their gifts.

We were all pretty tired this morning after a full day of family at the
house. We did not get to bed till after 1 a.m. and had to get up for 8 a.m.
mass.

Today we are just chilling.

What sort of stuff did you get Harry?
