Iboaterer is I_am_Tosk, and about a hundred other aliases that have

It isn't Kevin. Kevin is just another (somewhat irritating) poster
that doesn't come here anymore, because of all of the political noise
and hatred. Even you should be able to figure out who told him who had
used his name, which precipitated the Facebook block thread.

Notice any names that keep coming up over and over? Think maybe Harry
has help?

For a guy who whines so much about the lack of boating posts here and
the high noise to signal ratio, you sure don't add anything to the
"revitalization" you said you were seeking. In fact, you're part of the
problem you whine about so much.

At least I am not a hypocrite. I don't expect to see any interesting
boating related discussions here, and I'm not disappointed.

I don't know that iboater is JustHate the Tosk, and I'm not sure it
matters. Both of them are boatless, ignorant assholes. (As far as can be
told, you are, too.) Their posting styles differ a little, if that means
anything. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about the info that tells
you who is using what server and which software, because all of that can
be faked. All of it.

Neither of them are getting any help or encouragement from me. Usenet as
a venue for conversation is dying. There's another "former" boating
group that is near death...rec.boats.cruising. That group appears to
have but one serious boating poster, and his boat has been on the hard
for years while he rebuilds it. Most of the rest of the posters either
make snotty remarks about the rebuild, though a few offer helpful
suggestions from time to time.

As my pseudo-Russian friend says, "Have nice day."
