For the record, I do not *hate* guitars, dogs, horses, beer, movies or
motorcycles. I have a guitar, I've had dogs, I've ridden horses, I go to
movies and I have a motorcycle.

But after all, it *is* a boating news group, and the farther we stray
from boats the worse the signal to noise ratio.

Exactly.... the more one person posts about their favourite past time... eg
motorcycle racing, the more others will be tempted to post about anything&
everything but boating.
Maybe that "over there" place could be reserved for all non-boating posts.

So it isn't ok to post about BBQ grills and such? I wish you guys would
get on the same page...

As long as civility is maintained, there is no need for everyone to be
on the same page or even in the same book. Some posters are very
concerned about OT posts, others are not. The "OT" in the subject line
is helpful. This newsgroup has problems a lot more serious than
discussions about BBQ grills or teenage motorcycle racing.

Then why have you always attacked my daughter and her sport with such
vulgarity?

Hey Scotty. Can you leave it?

are you gonna' attack every post I make now John? Ten years of having
every post I make ridiculed or attacked, and now you just want to make
nice. Fine, I joined in the BBQ thread and played nice last night, but
then the bull**** started up again, and you blame me? Fine...

Who started the "bull****" up again, Scotty? Certainly not me. I simply
*suggested* using OT on the subject line and noted that OT posts were
not as serious an issue as nastiness.

For the most part, it seems the "problems" now are being caused by the
ID spoofers and one or two posters who cannot seem to let go of the past
and practice self control.
