Here's proof the hapless skipper of the ill-fated Red Cloud lied about
Olga - the tropical depression he claimed he had to stay in port to
wait out its passage.

Here is a weather Buoy offshore from Belize:

Wilbur, you just ain't too swift. Why don't you get a real newsreader?
Everybody knows Outhouse Express is garbage. Notice how I use one that
doesn't make a mess out of formatting links, paragraphs,etc.

Here, let me show you how it's done: Your post in readable format.

One should view free news servers as one would view a carnival sideshow.
Like a carnival sideshow free servers arrive in town every so often and
there is always some grifter hawking suspect wares and swindling
gullible people, if not out of their money then their time. The carnival
geek represents the free news server administrator. The fat lady
represents the size of his ego. The clown represents the usual laughable
TOS. The sword swallower is tantamount to what happens to a subscriber
at the other end of the alimentary canal. Like the toss the ring at the
Coke bottle game, free news servers are rigged against the user and are
a cheat and a swindle.
