![]() "BTnH" wrote... Hey all; I just set up newsgroups on my computer, and I am happy to find knowledgeable and helpful folks to ask when I have questions. I bought an old 34' Cal last year. My first boat. I managed to not crash or break it during the first summer of use, but it was mostly luck. That's a cool boat. A friend of mine had one back when they were new hot racer-cruisers, we sailed it a lot. Anyway, a suggestion: some threads are long and hard to follow because people leave the original message in the reply. If they turned this off in their options, send section, the reading would be easier. Only if you have the whole thread, and follow it in linear fashion... not so easy on usenet. I quote sections of previous message that I'm replying to, so you can tell what I'm talking about. OTOH to quote several long previous messages and adding "me too" or maybe the ever-popular "what he said" at the bottom is kind of annoying. wrote: You found helpful people in THIS group, no way. I rarely see anything here except personality conflicts. There is rarely anything about sailing here. You must mean rec.boats.cruising. Actually, there's at least as much sailing discussion here as there. But it seems to be going down hill lately. DSK |
