It might be interesting to start a list of the MIAs. Here's a beginning: Chuck Gould Tom Francis NOYB from Naples, FL Gene Kearns Eisboch Wayne (Clams) Canino Lloyd Sumpter Karl Denninger Larry from Charleston Karen Smith Bill Grannis Dave Brown Vic Smith Del Cecchi Capt. Bill in Sarasota Steve Weingart Steven Shelikoff Norm (N.L.) Eckert Russ Glindmeier I'm sure there are lots of others. How many of them left because of Harry directly? None. And why are you here? You said you were leaving...lying...again? -- The Tea Party's teabaggers are just the Republican base by another name. He never left...he just changes his name..... Coward is as Coward does.

As you can see, I have been recently absent for a few weeks. I will be gone again in three days, probably for another three weeks, and figure at that time, I can tune back in, and like an ex-wife of mine, not miss anything she had said. One time, I did not talk to her for 23 months. She hated to be interrupted. When I do have a boating question, I pop in, ask it, and take the answers and run. This is a great group for getting advice and experience and knowledge. There are just a ton of lonely looney people here who have a lot of extra time, Vaseline, and a keyboard. Steve |

There used to be some great boating stories and advice here. Most of it in fact. I thought about this a week or so ago and had an idea. Do you think we could tag everything that strays off the boats as "OT" I tried it for a while and nobody got the hint. If we did, a person just looking for boat content could just filter "OT" out. This would be a pretty empty NG tho ;-) People who can't grasp that this is a newsgroup about boats probably wouldn't grasp that concept either. Steve |
