It's sad to see some people can't stay out of the squabble and insult.

C'mon. This is a 'boating' newsgroup . Is it really that difficult to
keep it that way?

I've bozo-binned the ID Spoofers who now post here just as obnoxiously
with new handles. One of them doesn't like being ignored, so he's ID
Spoofing again. It's part of their juvenile delinquent syndrome, with
the emphasis on *juvenile.*

I've also asked several posters to scale back or stop their insulting
posts, and so have others here. It's worked on some of them but not on
others.

BTW, to help alleviate your drought, I'm offering a pint bottle of water
with each truckload of leaves hauled away from my yard. And unlike
Herring, who only has oak leaves to give away, I have oak, elm, Chinese
dogwood, pear, plum, sycamore, birch and about a dozen other varieties
of tree leaves included in our special holiday assortments.

Free.

I think that it's ridiculous that the same beat keep going on and
on... Especially that there's plenty who will take the soured bait
and go right for the fray.

Now, concerning leaves....I usually hit 'em with a lawn mower to
mulch 'em good and let mother nature take their course.

Our leaves seem to be toxic to grass, even when they are mulched up. So
I make one direction passes with the lawn tractor to move them into the
woods where they can rot and help form more topsoil.

I suggest you ask the offending parties why they persist in their
insulting behavior. My solution is simply to bozo-bin them. Your
solution is whatever works for you.

We got a start on raking & bagging leaves on the weekend but the rains

BTW it was hard to find the big clear leaf bags at this point... I had to
go to COSTCO and buy a box of 60. That should do me for a half dozen years.

You should ship those bags of leaves to the treeless Americanos who post
here! :)

The eight holes in my back yard, the holes for the deck footers, are
filling up with leaves. The concrete guy will be here today or
tomorrow...if he leaves the leaves in the holes, they'll become fossils.
A million years from now, when aliens land here, they'll discover those
fossils and wonder what manner of beings populated this planet. That's
my take on it.

Well, I have to admit that I've done some really juvenile delinquent
stuff also, with the emphasis on *juvenile*. Like when I accused others
of bestiality, or of incest. But when you think about it, somehow I'm
different than all the other juveniles, right?

Organic matter will decay leaving a void under the footings. The leaves

Point taken. I just think the people that are willing to reform
already have. The rest, whether they are in your face or feigning
innocence types of instigators, are largely incorrigible. IMO,
ignoring them completely is the only tool left.


You assuredly are correct in regard to the incorrigibles. Ignoring them
however you do it is the best way to handle them, especially if, after
being politely asked to behave reasonably, they do not.

C'mon. This is a 'boating' newsgroup . Is it really that difficult to
keep it that way?

I've bozo-binned the ID Spoofers who now post here just as obnoxiously
with new handles. One of them doesn't like being ignored, so he's ID
Spoofing again. It's part of their juvenile delinquent syndrome, with
the emphasis on *juvenile.*

I've also asked several posters to scale back or stop their insulting
posts, and so have others here. It's worked on some of them but not on
others.

BTW, to help alleviate your drought, I'm offering a pint bottle of
water
with each truckload of leaves hauled away from my yard. And unlike
Herring, who only has oak leaves to give away, I have oak, elm, Chinese
dogwood, pear, plum, sycamore, birch and about a dozen other varieties
of tree leaves included in our special holiday assortments.

Free.

I think that it's ridiculous that the same beat keep going on and
on... *Especially that there's plenty who will take the soured bait
and go right for the fray.

I suggest you ask the offending parties why they persist in their
insulting behavior. My solution is simply to bozo-bin them. Your
solution is whatever works for you.

We've all just witnessed some of the most offensive **** I've ever seen
posted on usenet. Yet you've
made not one remark against any of slammer's crap.

As you with Scotty.
He likes to tweak Slammer and the whole group ends up suffering.
It appears to me that more is going on over at other newsgroups and spilling
back here.

Once again, Ingersoll " re " started it. Ingersoll knows how to stop
it, there's only ONE way.

Can't leaved good enough alone....

One thing is for sure... we have our ration of assholes here. *I just

I'm responsible for my behavior only, and no one else's.

Ya, you're not innocent, Jack.

That's true to a point, but this is a community of sorts, and people of
good will should try to convince those who aren't behaving to mend their
ways.

That's my opinion.

Point taken. *I just think the people that are willing to reform
already have. *The rest, whether they are in your face or feigning
innocence types of instigators, are largely incorrigible. *IMO,
ignoring them completely is the only tool left.

You assuredly are correct in regard to the incorrigibles. Ignoring them
however you do it is the best way to handle them, especially if, after
being politely asked to behave reasonably, they do not.

You advice would best be pointed at the mother****er who re-started
the ****.

i do too, but that takes care of about 80% of the threads. And it
seems that a good quality thread with end up being full of flame
posts.

Talk about a train wreck, is something else going on in your life or did
you really let rec.boats send you over the edge? Be careful, it isn't
the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop.

and go right for the fray.

Now, concerning leaves....I usually hit 'em with a lawn mower to
mulch 'em good and let mother nature take their course.


Our leaves seem to be toxic to grass, even when they are mulched up.
So I make one direction passes with the lawn tractor to move them into
the woods where they can rot and help form more topsoil.

We got a start on raking & bagging leaves on the weekend but the rains
returned when we were only a third of the way through.
I say 'we', but it was my wife doing the labour work... I was busy
winterizing the boat. ;-)
BTW it was hard to find the big clear leaf bags at this point... I had
to go to COSTCO and buy a box of 60. That should do me for a half dozen
years.


You should ship those bags of leaves to the treeless Americanos who
post here! :)

The eight holes in my back yard, the holes for the deck footers, are
filling up with leaves. The concrete guy will be here today or
tomorrow...if he leaves the leaves in the holes, they'll become
fossils. A million years from now, when aliens land here, they'll
discover those fossils and wonder what manner of beings populated this
planet. That's my take on it.
The holes you covered?

The reality is that they will decompose and your deck will settle.
Enjoy that.

I'd use the shop vac to pull them out just before he pours the concrete.
The shop vac? What an imagination..
