Well, I am not clean here either but as long as we keep it where we are,
I am sure we will be alright. In fact, all of Harrys "headaches" have
taken him off their list, and it was actually interesting there for a
few with the BBQ talk.


I think Harry, you should post a few pics of your new boat and see how
it goes. Don't put yourself in there if you don't want. But a new
frekin' boat is the perfect test to see if this place is really making
the corner after ten frekin' years. And come on, who doesn't want to
show off a new boat...?


Well, you aren't going to be "clean" until you stop playing patty
fingers with the ID spoofers. Your penpal "Harry" is one of them.

I will engage legitimate posters who discuss boats or reasonable OT
subjects, and I'll be glad to do so, but I won't be posting any photos
or significant details here of the new boat.- Hide quoted text -

Harry has stopped attacking so for now, he is just some guy named
Harry, you are S.H....


Your comment reminds me of a bit from a long-forgotten Heinlein novel
about a guy whose business card claimed he could restore virginity.

"Harry" is and shall evermore be an ID spoofer and therefore should not
be "engaged" by those who want a better newsgroup. I wouldn't engage him
if he changed his handle to "flajim," but that's another matter.

Dont forget your License Plate...KKK U2

I have always enjoyed the band U2, great music.

U2 sucks, Bono (although a great humanitarian) is a pussy... ;)

Well, I have never had any taste in good music, I love the Beatles.

Just talking about that last night, both my wife and I are like, "eh",
when it comes to the Beatles, but I do have a bunch of their albums, I
like some of their stuff...

Thats cause you and your Wife are two lying ****s........


Jesus. Enough already. You know from my history that I have no great
regard for certain posters here, but calling someone's wife nasty names
is despicable. Put a sock on that, will you? Please?


I am surprised that Paul hasn't said something to slammer. In fact, his
correcting seems to be somewhat one-sided, not that those he corrects
don't, for
the most part, deserve it.

Just an observation, mind you.

Your comment was on target. Thanks.


I must have missed "slammer," unless he is e#c, in which case I've
already filtered him. In any event, my "efforts" here don't amount to
much, as I see from my filter log and from those quoting those in there
that a handful of the more obnoxious posters are still posting. I don't
think any efforts will succeed unless all of those who want a better
newsgroup do not respond in any way to the potty mouths, to those who
spend most of their time here insulting others, and to those who "spoof"
the IDs of other posters or their family members.

More importantly, the wind has kicked up and it looks like the Sound
will be snotty all weekend. That's not the weather I ordered.


Weather Update...might be a window of opportunity to get out
tomorrow...latest forecast indicates two footers in my immediate area.
If it is really snotty out there, I can fish the banks of the mighty
Branford Harbor, along with 200 other guys.

I just talked with John today, and he and the Mrs. absolutely love the
truck. They took off with the trailer to go camping and the truck
absolutely had it's way with it.

It beats the 4-runner's 10 mpg in all towing categories.

14 mpg, with plenty of stability and gobs of power. Now he's thinking
on a 5th wheel set up and a larger camper.

I told him it could become addictive!

I'm surprised that there are still people who don't have him in the
kill file.


Not only do they not have him kf'd, they continue to converse with him as though
he's some rational, healthy being.

Yes, slammer and e#c are one and the same. I am not prone to name-calling, but

BTW, I made my comment because you'd said you had only one or two spoofers
filtered. I forgot you'd been around for a while and new e#c.

I, for one, would be very interested in frequent updates, opinions,
and squawks. I'm seriously considering a K2500 or K3500 dually for a
replacement for the current truck....

One problem with * dualies is that unless you're loaded with
something, they can be fairly worthless on snow, ice or even heavy
rain. *Too much flotation in the back end.


Of course, you might not have a problem w/that out on the east coast.


Never had a problem with that... the trick is narrow tires. Hugely
wide tires, the wider the better, make sense on sand, not so with the
Piedmont hard red clay and snow and ice....

Could be, Gene. i know of several guys ehre who have dualies who have
been stuck because mud caked up between the rims. Of course, if
you're in mud like that, then there's a lot of pilot error and
misjudgment, though.But where a normal 3/4 ton pickup would go, I
have witnessed people slipping and slithering around on snow with them.
