It certainly is for about 6 people. Killfile them and the number of
off-topic posts drops to near nil. They are easily identified by the
speed and willingness with which they remind you that they are going
to do what they want to do and *you* can't stop them.


Since I have never said anything of the sort then obviously I am not one of
the 6?

Because if I was Officer O'Kearns then that would make you full of baloney.

Where is it written that one can only talk about boating matters in this
newsgroup and just who deputized you to go after anybody?

This newsgroup is akin to a pub where most everyone shares a common interest.
A pub on the waterfront perhaps that attracts boaters. And like any pub
filled with free spirited individuals the folks can and will talk about most
anything that they wish. Be it boats, politics or anything else.

Just who are you to say otherwise?

And your ridiculous analogies relating to obnoxious cell-phone users doesn't
hold water here because in this pub one is free to choose which conversation
that they wish to engage in. It isn't like you are forced to listen to
somebody's Aunt Marge talking to her doctor while you are dining out.

Don't like certain threads then by all means ignore them or filter them out.
But you can take your pathetic attempts at newsgroup policing and --
well you can figure that out.

This isn't a moderated newsgroup and you are certainly not anybody's
moderator. Get over it.

later!
