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.


Oh, so that's what he meant!

(Just kidding)
