Group,

Admittedly, I'm a lurker in this group. I contribute when I can and have
learned an incredible amount over the last few months. I thank all of you
who spark discussions and debates in this forum.

Having said that, why is it that this "PC" fellow detracts from everyone's
ideas, derides every design and designer that ever lived? Is there no
moderator in here to temper this type of degradation of the forum? Sure,
every one of us has the opportunity to take part in the group, and I
consider it to be a privilege to belong, but somewhere there has to be a
method of maintaining decorum and civility.

Mr. or Mrs. Moderator, what say you?

It work like this, that if there is a particular person you will not read, you
open your kill-filter and add the persons name, then you will not be bothered.
Now "P.C." if that is me you mean, is the founder of Cyber-Boat, that you can
find in Yahoo group and an old site on the web. The difference betewwn me and
most of this group is, that I am a boatbuilder, working from tradisional methods
and tradisional materials such as wood, and have proven that I acturly build
nice tradisional boats ,mainly in the old fasion art of lapstrake or clinker
boatbuilding;

Round one mill hits found that site but don't trust the counters number.

I develobed this into computer programs before most other group members even got
their first computer, and acturly you will find most of the group is members of
one or several Cyber-Boat groups at Yahoo.

Round 1000 members all together and a lot of lurkers here had the oppotunity to
download all the nice designs ,as full-scale plans of unfolded panels and
building jigs.

So the first difference is that I made "Real" boats, in the old tradision ----
you know boats out of wood. But oposed your manners, I never said that this
shuld be "better" or more fit for a boatbuilding group, as boatbuilding as a
craft shuld not belong in a museum.
Now you would think that this work both way's , but your mail just prove it
don't ; and where a lot of this group want to stay with one particular
construction method, even there are hundreds of way's to produce a boat, I work
from original tradision , master that and master the computer tools to the
extents that I need to make my own software, beside question the conservatism
that keep people making money .
Your way's isn't different from many other groups on usenet, you think this
shuld be a social game where you can shrow dirt and say the one you hit stink,
aslong as you gather another crowd , around your activity.
Well maby that will in the end , along the massive spam mails you recive from
usenet activity, be the end of usenet. ---- is usenet even worth the spam.
Now Scotty don't want to make money with a better, easyer, safer and more
amature friendly building method proving better, nicer and more modern designs
in any shape and fasion ,even modern . But that is his choice, your choice seem
to be to try make another usenetgroup into a social club so the true craftmen
that shuld profit, shuld have less value than any usenet troll being bored in
his prefered group, -------- well maby you will succes , as the ground already
is prepared and throwing dirt alway's for some, is more fun than building a
boat.
P.C.
