Chuck.............what was your intention in starting this thread?

An obvious answer is "to stir the pot" as it is something you succeeded
in
doing.

Is there another reason??

Several.

The site tracks the growth of rec.boats from the very beginning, from
back in the days when there were only a couple of hundred posts per
month up to current times when there are several thousand.

There is information about how many people (just over 100) typically
participate in the NG.

Activity is compared to other rec.boats sites, with rec.boats cruising
also being very active, rec.boats building being a bit less active,
and rec.boats marketplace somewhat of a sleepy hollow.

and so forth,

It's fascinating to note that the only portion of the information that
anybody found significant enough to comment about was to compare the
number of posts that people have made throughout the years.....and
with that information the very same people who are likely to climb
another poster's frame for any other reason are (no surprise) using
this item to make personal remarks about the people they dislike.

Most of the information there is not personality oriented. If you
failed to notice that, perhaps you might consider taking another look.

Everyone knows how you despise any stirring of the pot, JimH. Let me
assure you that such was not my intention.

What took you 500 words I can provide an appropriate response to you in
one...........Bull.

Just because, for you, this group is all about Peyton Place
personality intrigue
doesn't mean that everybody else views everything in the group from a
perspective of personalities, flame wars, and score settling. Most of
us don't seem to really give a stinking squat about juvenile grudges
or bother to keep track of who is currently po'd at poster X,Y, or Z.
Did you notice that of all the responses to this thread yours is the
only one focusing on personal remarks?
Why do you suppose that is? Hard to believe, from a guy who preaches
against "stirring the pot".
