Didn't you know that everyone of consequence wait in anticipation for
Harry's next expletive filled diatribe?

Unfortunately for this news group that is a pretty good description
for how things have evolved. At one time there used to be
interesting discussions about boats, equipment, maintenance, regional
boating styles/issues, etc. We also had some interesting and
knowledgable people who could be relied on for insights on a variety
of different topics.

The person in qustion is perfectly happy to have all discussion
centered on him; in fact it helps to feed his quirky and inflated
ego. It also seems to fill some sort of need for his supporters and
detractors. It might be good to reflect on that part of the issue
and find some better use for creative time and energy.

I'm of the opinion that the less said to, and about Harry, the better.
Spring is here, even in Alaska, and surely there are better things to
talk about.
