Yeah, I can tell.

I'm merely fertilizing what herring started.

why?

Told ya already...the immediate goals are to get the ID spoofers and
ID screen name changers to stop their childish behavior, and to get
herring to stop making his snarky remarks with virtually everything he
posts here.

These would be the first steps in trying to make rec.boats a more
hospitable place. Until the boys start to behave, I see no possibility
of this newsgroup returning to being a "boating" newsgroup, nor do I
see any point in writing up a detailed post about boating, only to see
the mostly non-boaters in here go into immediate "attack mode." I
engage in boating posts in other places, where the moderators would
ban posters like...well...never mind. :)

Frankly, I don't see any hope for rec.boats as a mostly boating
newsgroup. I stay around because there are a few folks here I like and
find interesting, but only a few, and their numbers are dwindling or
they have become less active. On the other hand, there are a few
posters who seem intent on driving out those who disagree with them
politically.

As an aside, I don't mind off-topic posts if they are interesting.
There are so few real boaters here that if the topics were mostly
strictly boating-related, there would be about two interesting boating
posts every three days.

If you have better suggestions to accomplish these goals of getting
the ID spoofers and snarkers like herring to stop, let's hear them.
And let's not suggest we "ignore" them, because I did that for a long,
long time with my filters, and they never ceased.

Have a good day.

Says the group asshole who attacks (almost) every post and turns it into
a political issue. Harry, you should give up some of your allowance and
ask your wife to proofread your posts for you. You are so transparent...
