We could write to his magazine, but he probably reads all the mail. :-(
He'd censor us.


Not at all. However, it's a boating magazine so judging by your
performance in the NG you would have little or no interest in it and
wouldn't have anything to say that could possibly be relevant to our
readers.


Chuck do you really think that someone has to think about, write about,
dream about boats 24/7 just because they are interested in them? I have
a boat, really like it, love being on it, etc. But I also have other
interests. Do you constantly talk about your boat when you are on it?



Not at all. But when I wanted to discuss, say, the history of the
American Civil War I would go to a Civil War newsgroup or forum. When I
want to talk about politics, I would go to a political newsgroup or
forum.

When I'm hungry for Chinese food, I don't go into an Italian restaurant
and start demanding that somebody better darn well put Sweet and Sour
Pork on the menu, I go to the Chinese joint. When I'm hungry for
Italian food I go back to the Italian place. How hard can that be? The
sign over the door says "Chinese Restaurant" or "Italian Restaurant".

The sign over this door says "Boating Newsgroup".

You should have a lot of interests if you are a well rounded person,
and there are appropriate venues in which to persue every one of them.
