My first visit in about 1600 posts and all I see here is flotsam and
jetsam. This place is a wreck. I've never seen so many louts in one
little newsgroup.

Can't you actual boaters do something about all the disruptive children
who post here? Why do you tolerate it?

Speaking of flotsam and jetsam, as some wag wrote a long time ago:

....jetsam est quant le nief est in perill d'être merge et pur disburden
le niefe les biens sont iects in le mere‥et nul de ceux byens que sont
appelles Ietsam Flotsam ou Lagan sont appeles wreck cy longe come ils
remain in ou sur la mere, mais si ascun de eux sont mise al terre per le
mere, donques ils seront dit wreck.
