Good point but unfortunately a lot of serious boaters have already
been driven away, and those that mostly enjoy the snarky/snarlyness
remain (with some notable exceptions).

My inlaws used to live near Lake Zoar, nice area.


It's a nice little lake. I don't live at Lake Zoar, but it isn't that
far away, maybe an hour. What I do have is a long-time bud with a lake
house and a boat house. We live in the Branford Metropolitan Area, which
consists of a little bunch of little bitty towns.

Branford Metro Area - that's what the local Chamber guys will be pushing
next. We need less here, not more. We're sort of a suburb of New Haven.

As for the tango, I'll bet if some of regular actual boaters pushed,
they might get some good results.

Unfortunately as ususal, what you say doesn't square up with the
facts.. Look at the posts the last few weeks. You and your crew bonnie
and slammer have posted dozens of unanswered attacks and insults a
day... So it's us that has been ignoring you, and of course that's
what ****es you off the most...

Can't be done. Harry and Don have to keep **** stirred up to cover up
the lies they spread.

Hey, why not give it a try? What do you have to lose?

Nothing but time.. Harry will never quit, neither will Slammer
(e##Cwhatever). Harry has been stalking and tormenting folks here for
almost 15 years, it doesn't change.

Seriously, let the spoofer keep him at bay, just kill file all of them
and you will be fine...


Hey, it's a free country, do whatever you like, but I think it is better
to set and live by a better example. Besides, wouldn't the boaters
prefer a less strifeful and less snarly newsgroup.

I suppose we will see who will give it a try and who won't. The ones who
won't aren't worth the time of day, in my opinion.

These morons really haven't figured out that there is nobody left here to
talk about boating because 99.99% of sane people aren't willing to wade
through the crap for the VERY little bit of boating information left here.
You just aren't going to get boating information where there are no boaters.

I don't mean to discourage you, but you probably need to learn a bit more
about the posters.


There are far fewer boating-related posts here than I imagined, and
that's for sure. Wouldn't it be great if some of the remaining posters
just bit the bullet and tried to be more agreeable? Especially those who
are boaters. I don't know who is and who isn't, but there seems to be at
least a few here whose only interest is stirring up the pot and
insulting other posters.

Won't take you long to figure it out.. I'm in...

Here's my boat. Since these pics I have put in a console and a 25 horse
with Johnson controls.. I like to party in the CT River and surrounding
Sound areas. The elites here don't consider this a boat, but I am quite
sure I am happier with mine than they are with theirs...

ooops. here's the link... http://yaimkool.com/

Sorry...

Of course, you failed to mention that you built the boat yourself! And, it is a
fine looking piece of work, even if I do say so.

Nice job, Scotty.

Paul, you know what is and isn't here; I know who you are.

But, since we are having this dance, certainly it would be better if people
were more agreeable. But, what would they agree about? They don't boat
anymore, so there won't be any "Your Bayliner sucks" or "Chain Rodes Rip Out
Cleats" or "What is the best boat" threads. So, what do they talk about?
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Hate. Racism. Politics. Creeping Socialism.
Liberals. NeoCons. This is all about people that have huge vacuous spaces in
their lives and the drama that you read here on a daily basis is their
artificial fix of passion that makes life bearable.

Years ago, the anonymous Smithers threw the gauntlet down and now it has
fallen so far out of reach, it can't be recalled. Not even a nice-guy-newbie
is going to fix the mess that was artificially created.

I'd like to bring "the answer" to this. When faced with a problem, I
generally try to offer a solution along with the acknowledgement of the
problem. I just don't have one. I don't know if there is one.

Take this away, there will be nothing different until this newsgroup is
again filled with actual boaters.


It seems to me that the remaining boaters here could try to keep posts
on topic or at least close to on topic, and ask those who seem unable to
control themselves to try a little harder to behave like reasonable
adults. It wouldn't hurt anyone to give it a try. After all, what is
there to lose by being reasonable?

One can discuss politics as it affects boating. Here's an example: I
don't know much about the government's budget for updating charts. I
know I have encountered sandy and rocky shoals near the shorelines of
Long Island Sound that are not indicated in any way on any of charts I
have seen. Is it a political decision to not spend money on surveying
the waterways? Is this common elsewhere? Who is in charge, politically,
and what can be done about it?

I don't know the Smithers whom you refer to and I probably wouldn't care
to.

A discussion about "chain rodes rip out cleats" would be on topic and
possibly very funny!

I'd go along with the idea of 'no politics', 'no religion', and 'no personal
attacks'. To say 'politics as it affects boating' is OK is simply asking for
political fights. The answer to your question, for example, is, "Obama is in
charge, and he doesn't give a rat's ass about your problems in the waterways
unless it will get votes for Democrats in the next election."

See what I mean?

Good mornin', Tim.

a cup of coffee.

Have a spectacular day!
