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.


Just to prove a point, I went to the alt.civil.war.usa newsgroup for a
quick sampling.

In just one minute I had the following headers:

Clash of bigots continues
Laura Bush murdered her favorite boyfriends
The one trillion dollar war
Meshuga ****tard Ohara
Neo Conservatives in the news
Bassy the bigot exposed
Homophobic bigots
Whose doing the looting in New Orleans
Death of American Democracy
Leftists facists of this era

Now you tell me Chuck - how prevelant is this?

There are times when discretion is the better part of valor - this is
one of them.


Two (or more) wrongs make a 'right'?
