Most of what you fellows do, 24-7, is either fling juvenile insults,
discuss subjects that have nothing to do with any aspect or boating, or
act like idiots.
Because of you and your dwarfs, I simply gave up on this place as a
forum for boating discussions, and I freely admit I show up mainly to
watch the aberrant behavior of you and your buddies.
If all you did was "watch", a good chunk of the problem would go away.
You don't "watch". You (and others) pounce upon certain individuals
regardless of the subject of their posts or to whom they are addressed.
The only way to restore rec.boats to something other than a personal
insult free-for-all would be for everybody to retire the past, forget
about old issues and conflicts, and post as if all were meeting for the
first time. Problem is, it would require 100% participation and that just
isn't going to happen.

tell you what, Richard, as an old Westvillian to an aging Amityite, you
work assiduously on getting the seven dwarfs to behave and I'll work on
the rest.
how's that?
No thanks. It would be like trying to solve a Catch-22.
*I* can't fix it. *You* can't fix it. But if all the participants were
seriously motivated and committed to reviving rec.boats to it's former
glory, it can be done by simply resisting the urge to post idiotic
claims/counterclaims.
It can't be "my" rules .... "your" rules or anybody else's "rules".

The only rule we had when you and SW were away was to totally ignore
the trolls. It worked for a while, it can work again...
You and your fellow dwarfs *are* the trolls, Scott.
