It's possible. But there are a lot of mindless people who will jump in
here and make it just like rec.boats, only without the fishing threads.

I certainly don't mind intelligent well-reasoned discussions of
politics, especially when there are issues raised that are important for
cruising, such as the Cuba prohibition and the ICW neglect. And most
regulars here would most likely be fine with that.

But we've already seen malicious personal attacks on contributors such
as Chuck Gould, motivated solely by spite of what he's posted in another
newsgroup. More of that? No, thanks.
