i really enjoy writing non-sense too and posting it to newsgroups that
don't have anything to do with it, please read on for my most excellent
meaningless post that has nothing to say except what you are reading
now which is pretty much nothing except for words that go on and on and
string together in a long series of meaningless ideas that do nothing
but take up space on the board and annoy anyone who tries to read them.
it's so meaningless, in fact, that i don't know why you continue to
read these words, i wouldn't if i were you, even writing them is
annoying me, but you know it just seems like the right thing to do to
keep saying crap that doesn't mean anything in response to empty
moronic crap that was posted to one of my favorite newsgroups. am i
helping or hurting the situation, who knows, i'm sure such meaningless
non-sense as this can't hurt too much, but i can't see how it helps
either, it's not like someone who posts annoying empty words to an
inappropriate newsgroup like Linda here is going to stop just because i
post equally annoying and useless text back at her. i'm sure she isn't
even reading it, she just posted it .. fire and forget, hoping that her
empty words will land on ears that give them meaning, which i may be
doing right now by justifying them with any kind of response at all,
but i feel compelled to write back anyway since her post is like a spot
on the beautiful canvas that is rec.boats.cruising. if she spreads out
her senseless garbage wide and far enough she can play the percentages
and hope that her empty words will trigger a response, which it has, in
me! though not the intended response of writing the president, it has,
instead, make me really dislike the name Linda at least for today, and
if anything makes me want to support the President just out of spite.
maybe if we all post totally meaningless garbage like this eventually
the newsgroup will be so overloaded with useless, non-sailing related
stupid ass crap that we won't even be able to find the good posts, that
seems to be what is happening over on www.ssca.org at the moment, where
a relentless spammer/psycho moron keeps posting endless amounts of
garbage to what used to be a very good forum for talking with other
sailors. blah blah blah blah blah, non-sense crap crap crap, i can't
even think of new ways to express nothing at all, meaningless
emptiness, lack of quality, senseless void words spewing forth from an
expansive abyss. i'm at a loss to continue on! lol. these senseless
posts are like adding water to fine wine, diluting it and making it
into something junky and lame, thinning out the fine quality that is
our beautiful newsgroup rec.boats.cruising, and i feel just terrible
for making it even worse by responding to it. i hope you have enjoyed
my most excellent meaningless post, in response to an equally annoying
inappropriate post in a terrific newsgroup of cruisers. blah blah
blah, making noise and hiding the signal, blah blah blah

LOL! I read (almost) every word.

Of course, if I was a powerboater burning $60.00 an hour, I might see
the relavance. Banning recreational powerboating is the kind of idea
bound to crop up in any discussion of the kind of conservation that
would get prices back to where we pay no more attention to the cost of
the fuel than the cost of the air that burns it.

(I'm not advocating such a ban so, save your flames.)
