I speak up to Harry and his minions

I used to, but it became obvious, that to say *anything*, was
somewhere between pouring water on a duck's back and fanning the
flames.

I always assumed that the *other* side would be smart enough to catch
on and "nip it in the bud;" sort of a one hand clapping scenario.

That never happened, so, I must conclude that (1) I was wrong and they
are so incredibly stupid that they'll never catch on or (2) that they
are just like Harry, enjoy it as much as he does, and intend to keep
it going just so they'll have a life, too.

What else could it be?


You have conversations with Loogy. I don't. I avoid stepping "in it"
with most of the the non-boating or "rarely boats" slime in this
newsgroup, yet most of them are obsessed with me, even though I ignore
them.

This isn't a "boating" newsgroup anymore. Other than you and a couple of
others, with whom it is worthwhile to discuss boats? As I have stated
several times, I have no interest in the children or grandchildren of
people I don't know, or golf, or recipes for high cholesterol redneck
food, or homebrew beer, or travel trailers, or "back when we were young
and losing the war in Vietnam, et cetera.
