That's not to say Eisboch is wrong or a bad guy for what he's doing. Hell,
if he gets a lot of enjoyment in his discussions with Harry, then he
should
go for it!


John, this newsgroup used to be a lot of fun to participate in, sharing
boating experiences and knowledge, along with OT subjects of common interest
and, most of all to me, the humor. For those reasons, I enjoyed it,
including even some of the disagreements and debates with Harry over the
years.

But, it has changed. And the change isn't good. The "digs" used to be
light-hearted and humorous.
They have become viscous and uncontrolled, void of any mature consideration
for the recipient.

I'll tell you, I've enjoyed it for the past 13 years, but as I approach my
59th birthday and I observe the changes, I am starting to ask myself, why?
I really don't want to rush the degenerative process of age by starting to
act like a 12 year old prematurely.

So, I'll stick it out for a bit longer, hoping the humor and light hearted
banter, respect and courtesies demonstrated by some prevails along with
boating stories and even some politics
.
If not, it's adios time before I get totally sucked in.

BTW, wealth isn't all about money.

There is not a thing you've said above that I don't agree with
wholeheartedly.

But, I don't agree that any discourse with Harry promotes any harmony in
the group. He has made his intentions well known.
