What happened to the newsgroup?

Wow, years ago I enjoyed reading this newsgroup. Yes, that Harry K clown
was dominating the group back then, if you locked horns with him, he
ratted you out. He did, he called every authority in my city and made up
stories etc etc, typical rat.
But the group still is in a mess, wow, aren't there anyone here insteresed
in boating? Is this just bickering and backering back and forth and
ratting everyone out? Snitches and rats,,, I thought it was boating and
cruising.
Hello! I, Wilbur Hubbard, still endeavour to post timely and on-topic
material. HarryK hasn't been too disruptive lately. He's started his own
moderated forum that he censors so that seems to have improved his sour
disposition and assuage his bully tendencies.
Unfortunately, we now have some PUTZ who is sending libelous posts and
threatening posts via anonymous remailers. That type of thing makes for
enough clutter that it drives some serious subscribers away. I try to add
valid and original perspective input based upon my long years of sailing
(wind-powered sailing), cruising and living aboard. I have a lot to offer
but there is a small group of detractors led by one Bruce in Bangkok who
would rather resort to insults and ad hominems than to address the salient
points of my posts.
But, the way to overcome these kinds of distractions is to just ignore or
killfile the distractions and off-topic crap and then to post interesting
cruising-related material yourself.
