I stayed away for awhile, and upon my return I feel like I fell down the
rabbit hole. Thinks just get curiouser and curiouser. Can anybody post
a
chart listing whose side every one is on?

It was so much easier when it was liberal/conservative.



The two sides:

1. The "side" that feels the NG is best used as a format for discussion
of boats and boating related topics. (Boating related *not* stretched
to the point where the Iraq War is considered on topic because "boats
use fuel and we get crude oil from the middle east").

2. The "side" that feels posts should routinely begin with OT,
should consist of cut 'n paste political editorials, and isn't above
launching a thread to make a personal attack or pursue a long-standing
feud.

As far as who is on which side, most people here now seem to be trying
to stay on side #1. (A few toe stubs here and there, but the effort is
evident). The few who are on side #2 are now glaringly obvious.

Welcome back NOYB. If you're looking for "easier" posting, I know there
are a lot of groups in the same shape this one was last year where the
liberal/conservative arguments continue to prevail. However, you're a
bright enough guy who actually goes boating and I suspect you could
offer a lot of on topic stuff here. I, for one, am looking forward to a
greater number of boating related posts from down Naples way.

Or, if you feel that it's truly a matter of choosing up "sides", you
could choose side #2.


Harry *does* have a point about the price/politics connection, Chuck. I keep
asking a question that the 54% are uncomfortable with, and do not answer.
But, you, of all people, should be able to answer it.
