There are knowledgeable and
published posters that read rec.boats and associated newsgroups that
stopped, on advice from their attorneys, posting to other web based
forums that had similar TOS.

Really? Cite examples.


Want to start with Peggie Hall?


Peggie Hall continues to use and post advice to other boating NG's,
including non moderated UseNet forums. When Peggie left rec.boats.
she was very adamant why she stopped posting in rec.boats. She was
tired of the personal inflammatory attacks by one of more (at the time,
the most) prolific regulars in rec.boats.

The personal, inflammatory attacks, and the off topic political
bickering that was the norm in rec.boats for so many years is reason why
most of the professionals left rec.boats.
