Probably the worst years for rec.boats were back before Google groups
existed. It has everything to do with individual behaviors, and how
those behaviors combine to constitute a group, IMO, and not much to do
with the type of service one uses to access the discussion. We're more
consistently on-topic these days (with the obvious exception of a
couple of posters), but even those who use the group as a blog or a
"myspace" page are a lot less confrontational than what used to be the
norm.

The foul and unwarranted remarks from Corsair would have been just as
inappropriate if they had been posted from a more sophisticated NG
system.


I guess that *was* a plus of the Clinton administration. Rec.boats was a
better place.
