Bye.

There's no door...or I'd warn you not to let it hit you in the ass.

What a piece of work!
Insult someone who actually knew what he was talking about.


This political based poster is probably *the* textbook example of what
is wrong with this news group. He is one of the very few people I
have ever killfiled. With killfiles in place for those that post
nearly nothing related to boating and general subjects that are off
topic, my useful bandwidth from this newsgroup is running about
181-retrieved to 288-available or about 63%. I find that I spend
*way* less time trying to teach pigs to dance and much more time
actually accomplishing gainful activity.... like boating.

I highly recommend that any poster interested in boating procure
adequate software to filter out the off-topic vandals and stay here
and continue to post on-topic responses.

To leave this group and go elsewhere only accomplishes what these OT
posters desire.... summed up by the response, "Bye. There's no
door...or I'd warn you not to let it hit you in the ass." I don't
know quite what it is that they hate about rec.boats, nor do I
understand there motivations, however, I do know that leaving only
achieves their goals at the expense of you giving up what can be a
rewarding and valuable resource.

Think about it..... and stay.


Harry Krawse seems to be your "textbook example" of what is wrong with
this
NG. Combined with Chuck Gould they have managed to take this NG from a
boating NG to a political one.

But I see you have not filtered him out as you respond to some of his
posts.

Will you be doing so in the near future? And have you add Chuck to your
ignore filter also? Or is it only the people who have different
political
views (from yours) that you filter and bitch about?

Me thinks so.


You know. I missed one important point. If you come here for boating
information, do you not mourn the loss of a person with over 30 years
of technical boating know-how?


I could care less about Chuck leaving. Harry and Chuck brought about the
downturn of this forum. So I hope the door hits him in the arse on his way
out.





Is your (erroneous) assessment of my political convictions more
important that the possible loss of such an able boating contributor?

Exlain that to me again Eugene. I don't understand your question.



Or do you really care? About boats, that is?


I care about boats. But less now than I used to as I sold mine due to my
wifes medical condition.
