I suggest you post some information and photos about your boat (don't attach

Some of the most active members of this group don't actually have boats but
just use this as a place to live out their fantasies and make cutting
remarks about people they envy. You'll get better responses if you can
demonstrate that you are a real person with a real boat.

What a warm and friendly greeting for a newcomer! Is there a written
test he has to pass before he's good enough to inhabit YOUR newsgroup?
