Neither post had a damn thing to do with boating. Do you really think
that opening a thread denigrating the Kennedy family and referencing
scandals that go back over 30 years isn't just waving a red flag in
front of a bull?

Sorry Chuck but boating is not in my blood 24x7. If this NG were restricted
to such, it would soon die.

All I did was report a news item. OT? Yep, as my life does not revolve
around boating. The boaters I know have no problem talking about things
that do not necessarily involve boating. You may be the exception.

Having said that.........if you or others chose to take my initial post down
the wrong path that is your problem.

Have a good evening Chuck.

BTW: How is the restoratation going on your boat?


Did the newgroup die when there were no political or name-calling posts,
Jim?

You and Harry couldn't stand it, but the group didn't die. You made it your
mission to attack anyone who tried to keep the inflammatory posts out, but
the group didn't die.

"All I did was report a news item..." Give me a break.
