Gene,
Jim might be guilty of making off topic posts, but by no means is he the
real problem. The problem is that most of the regulars come here to make
off topic posts. jps, NYOB, basskisser, Harry, Charles etc. come here to
call each other names and tell each other how stupid they are. They no
longer enjoy discussing boats, and that is the reason the good people are
leaving.

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.



My question was, "do you care about the loss of a 30+ year mechanic
leaving due to off topic posts?"



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



Earlier, you posted that you never came here to discuss boating. This
was not the forum that you chose to make on-topic posts. You came
here only to post off topic. Remember?



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



I am truly sorry about your wife's medical condition and I hope that
she recovers 100% and that the both of you do exceptionally well and
return to boating with gusto.

In the interim, however, I won't, be a party to your attempts to
vandalize this newsgroup nor bait me into a contrived situation.
Henceforth, I choose not respond to your thinly veiled attempts to
stir up mischief.
