Well, day-um!!!!!! ;-)

First off, I'm not bald (but slowly going gray at 42).

Bad temper? Hmmm... on occasion, yes, okay, you got me there. I finally stood
up and spoke out at work a few days ago with "Can we all make up our freakin'
minds?!?!" and got up from my desk, and went outside to cool off. (I'm a
computer programmer overseeing 3 corporate plant offices Unix servers and
databases). The engineering manager wanted a database query program like
this... The production manager wanted it like that... The other plants
managers wanted it like this. I got frustrated acting like a ping pong ball
bouncing around between corporate plant offices. Aaaaargh!

Oh, and about the B*st*rd... Uh, no. My parents were married when I was born,
and have been happily married for 57 years.

P.S. Hopefully people will speak up and support the thought of restoring
rec.boats back to what it once was.

Well, it got *your* attention, didn't it? )

Something has to be done. I'm not convinced a different newsgroup would do
the trick though. They wouldn't get enough attention over there and wander
back anyway.

There's no "perfect world" Dave, but I think a good compromise could
be effected if enough people care. I thank you for your post.

To me (and I admit going to the Nudie Bar tonight, and getting quite
drun..., er dizzy), the political postings are important. EXCEPT,
that some of the posters don't have the balls to identify themselves.
What is the point in having an opinion if you have no name? (Just an
opinion you old, bald b*st*rds). My name is NOAH!!! Or not, but you
know where to reach me!

Anyway, if you wern't at the Nudie Bar, I hope you saw the pictures.

I'm not trying to exclude anyone from rec.boats. Some of the most
politically minded posters are also the most knowledgeable and
experienced at boating. I am *asking* for their support to create a
lounge group (bar, dockside, fantail, I don't care).

rec.boats.nudie_bar might be good!?
noah

Noah,
You will find many people who might agree with you, but the vast majority of
the regulars want rec.boats to be a blood bath free for all. They are not
interested in have a separate forum to discuss OT discussions. Have you
ever seen an on topic post remain on topic without someone hijacking the
thread into a political name calling thread. Have you noticed that none of
them have disagreed with me. Unfortunately, what you see is what they want.

Well, I've been here for years and it's the same as it ever was.

I need to apologise to the group for the above Subject.

It was intended as a friendly barb, but I see that it was a poor
choice.

I won't repeat the error.

Naw, that'll never work!

Someone will start screeching about that insensitive program from the dark
ages of the pre-enlightened era that made us chuckle at human foibles, rural
southern life, and non-macho males; supported the status-quo of keeping
women in the kitchen or the library; fed us an endless stream of simplistic
platitudes based on nothing more than ethical values and simple patriotism,
and glorified the mistreatment of children by making them adhere to
standards.

How could we have survived such fare?

Ah, yes...extolling the virtues of the stupid and simple-minded...sort
of prepared the country for Dubya, eh?

Noah is from upstate NY and self flagellation is a way of life.

It helps them get ready for the winter.
