Time to change the group name
 

I went away in disgust several months ago, because there was precious
little here having to do with boats. I just popped in to see if anything
had changed, and it has. It's gotten worse, much worse. I instructed my
newsreader to download the latest 500 headers, and I see maybe three
threads that have anything to do with boats. Just about all I can see is
Bush-bashing, Obama-bashing, gay-bashing, and
everything-else-but-boat-bashing.

It is time to change the name of this group. The current name is
entirely misleading. I think rec.politics would work nicely, if it isn't
already taken. Maybe rec.curmudgeons or rec.loudmouths would be even
better.

You guys need lives - fast.

Right. *I* am in control of this computer. It doesn't control me. It
doesn't do anything I don't tell it to do.

Do you also control the horizontal and the vertical?

"Wow" is right. It's incomprehensible that an *adult* would author a
post like that. Is that another result of your narcissism?

Thank you for sharing. Watch out for that doorknob on the way out.
