Can somebody recommend a boating newsgroup?
 
Not to be snotty about it, but this one appears to be 99% political
commentary. I'm a new boat owner and looking for information actually
about boating.

I have owned just about every style boat built, and spend 30-40 hrs a
week boating, so if you have any questions, ignore these assholes and
just ask your questions and I will help.

Why do you have to be such an asshole spoofer, especially when someone new
asks a sensible question.
No wonder this newsgroup is in the crapper.

Well, since you brought it up the new poster should know that 95% of
the "spoofers" and political crap in this group is one poster, Harry
Krause, doing everything he can to get noticed... It's sad, but a few
dozen filters do the trick well, Yeah, a few dozen as he keeps
changing his handle every day or two...

It's a posting board, but it is moderated, though not heavily, and there
are far fewer racist, hateful right-wingers posting there.

Now that is funny, snotty. Most of the posts in here these days are from
flajim spoofing the id of other posters.

I understand your concern. Ask your questions and we'll see if we can help
you.

I'm the real Harry, and I post from a Mac, as virtually everyone knows.
If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a Mac, it's from an ID
spoofer who hasn't the balls to post with his own ID.

No, YukonBound and I have ruined this group. We only come here to insult
and call names.
