"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."

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)
