I've only been here for about 3 months, but I can't help but comment on all
the "political" threads in this newsgroup. This is REC.BOATS. Post your
political opinions in alt.politics, or in one of the other 500 political
newsgroups. It's bad enough it gets posted here, but to reply only makes it
worse.



You might as well set automatic filters to remove those few people
that incessantly post off topic. Filter out the "OT" posts and about
a dozen people and this *is* a boating newsgroup. If you have been
around long enough, you will have noticed that 95% of the OT posters
don't even own a boat, so there is nothing *on* topic going on in
their lives to post.... thus all of the way-out political blather.


I know, I know... don't let the door hit my ass on the way out, huh? Well
don't worry. There are a dozen message boards on the web where I don't have
to filter through 10 messages to find one about boating.



It seems to be their purpose to vandalize this news group to the point
that there are no boaters here.... you leaving mad only supports
their cause. Ignore them.


I guess I missed all "Tigger's" contributions to this newsgroup...
