If I could offer some advice to you Chuck I would suggest you avoid non
boating related topics such as this and keep to boating related topics. I
recall you asking for such a commitment from others here just a month or so
ago.............but hey, I may be mistaken.

I don't think so though. :-)

I guess we disagree about whether a discussion of the impact of "union
wages" on boat show ticket prices and exhibitor costs is boating
related. No worries. It wouldn't surprise me to discover that you also
disagree with my personal perspective on the issue. Do be careful, as
there are those who would incorrectly assume your possible disagreement
with my personal perspective (rather than a strict concern for the
content and character of the NG) was the underlying motivation for your
remarks about my post being OT.

The NG is headed right back to where it was just a few months ago- so
from the perspective of many of our regulars things will be normal
again soon. Many the old inflammatory topics are back, boating content
is tough to find, and the only difference is that so far there is a
little less name calling. Hard to tell how long the experiment with
being "just a little bit pregnant" will endure before the wheels fall
off again entirely, but the group is self defined by the majority of
posters- as it should be.
