A discussion group site listed rec.boats as a place to talk about boats.
Doesn't seem to be a lot of that here or is the season over for everyone? |

Pretty much, but with the economy, even the most prolific boaters spent little time on the water this year. I will not name names but if you stick around for a day or so you will see probably 50 unanswered attack posts from basically three posters and one brave spoofer who is trying to keep them occupied so the rest can have civil conversation. Just filter the first 4 posters to throw wild accusations around, and you will be just fine within about 24 hours. Again though, we tend to talk about guitars, racin', boats, cooking, photography to fill in the spaces between our boating outings. Think of it more like a dockside bar and grill, choose the clique you want to be associated with and join in. If you get by the bull**** there are some veeeeeeery knowledgeable boaters here, some active, some, uh, "retired" as it were... but still knowledgeable.. In your honor I will replace my usually abrasive, politically charged sig file, for one of my kids race team sigs;) Now it's up to you to make a boating post, we are eagerly waiting... OIC. The season will end soon for me. I boat in Long Island Sound. It is in the middle 50's today, but there is a brisk breeze and when I took a look from Shore Drive saw whitecaps outside Branford Harbor at the R34 Cow & Calf buoy, which was about as far out as I could see with my little binocs.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - On Oct 21, 3:05 pm, "Paul@BYC" wrote: On 10/21/2010 2:54 PM, I am Tosk wrote: In , says...

I am about 60 miles north of you just outside Hartford right now and I have a place in Essex too. I built boats for about 15 years and sold them from my home there. (smallboats.com) Been a bit away from the boating community for the last two years working with a young athelete in the family, kind of ties up all of your time as you may or may not know. A less frequent visitor who has somewhat moved away because of the bs here is Tom, who is out in Woodstock CT, with boats here and down in SC, Dick another in the same "boat" snicker is Dick who is right over the border in RI. Tim posts a lot here and boats still, in fact he is still modifying a couple of nice river boats is out in Ohio. Wayne just did a great trip to the islands on his er, oh God, I am having a mental block, big sweet boat, sending constant updates and providing a site so we could follow him by GPS. Greg in Fla does a bunch of boating in the winter, and there are posters in Cal and other states... However, as you have noticed, there is a lot of noise and I will tell you right now, I am not innocent by any stretch. Let me reiterate, I am known to lash out pretty hard when attacked, and there are folks here who probaly have or should have me filtered too;) It's up to you what you take from this group. Some come for attention, some come to flex their internet balls, and some even come just to fight with them;) And then there are a few and hopefully one more with you who come because over the years some of us have gotten to know each other pretty well and we like to chit chat, go fishin', give advice, tell jokes, let off steam and even have serious debate over politically charged issues without name calling, etc... You can filter those who are only destructive, or you can ignore them.. You can also address them if you wish but trust me, you are not going to change them. A good place to start is what boat do you have? What do you do with it? Do you have stories and pics? On the other hand, if your kid just won the state championship, or even came in last with a good effort, or you just found that 1961 VW Microbus you have been looking for since you loand that girl your first one in 74, bring it on... Tosk, aka Scotty from SmallBoats.com |

Tosk, aka Scotty from SmallBoats.com I have two boats at the present time. My favorite is a Century Resorter from the 1960's, nicely restored, that we keep at a friend's boathouse up on Lake Zoar. It's on a lift and we use it carefully to toot around the lake. The other boat is much newer and I use it for fishing and cruising around LI Sound. |

Apparently, it is not. You can Google a lot of useful, though dated information from this group if you look into the Pre-Bush years. This appears to have been one of the most trafficked groups on usenet. However, the crusty old neo-cons gave up boating to save god and country from whatever imagined threat and posted and spoofed and posted and spoofed until nobody was left but them and a few hard boiled liberals. So, there you have it. A bunch of non-boaters talking their brand of politics to save the world from the bad guys. Maybe if enough people show up like yourself, you can drown out the angry old boatless malcontents and make this group about boating again. Spoofed? What do you mean by spoofed? I did see a lot of fairly snarly posts from a couple of folks who don't seem to be boaters, so I skipped over most of the rest of the stuff with their names on them. A few of them seem to be "engaged" in grudge matches, certainly not the sort of behavior you'd expect from adults usually. |
