There hasn't been an interesting flamefest in rec.boats for many years.
Today, all it amounts to is "your an asshole" and then an equally
creative response "I know you are, but what am I". Many years ago two
regulars did a parody of Harry and Skipper, except instead of discussing
Bayliners, they discussed Rule Bilge Pumps vs Attwood Bilge Pumps. They
had the two of them done pat, and it was very entertaining.

Trust me if you read the exact same "asshole insults" for a few years,
they do get old, and have NO entertainment value. Try reading some of
Bassy's insults and tirades and imagine 20 or 30 more people making
50-200 posts per day, just as creative as his.
