So you're claiming that unsnipped bottom posting would be easier to
read if the name of the group was changed?

The only problem with this action is this is rec.boats.cruising, a meeting
place, not rec.boats.maintenance, a needed newsgroup maybe we should
request. If noone could post anything but maintenance problems and their
solutions to the newsgroup, the group would be full of people, like
yourself, asking for help. Those who don't need help and are providing the
ton of information you've, personally, gotten in answer to your personal
problems wouldn't stay on the group, as a social group, and the helpers
would never see your volumous questions.

Maybe we shouldn't view this as the guys sitting around the bar listening
to Buffett on the old Seeburg, eh? Let's start a new group,
rec.boats.party where all technical, maintenance and problem resolution
we've all helped you with is forbidden, going unanswered. I'd bet the
helpers would move to the new bar for a few drinks and a few laughs. Isn't
that what cruising is all about? I'd hate to think it was only about
maintenance, as you suggest.
