Most serious cruisers have migrated off of newsgroups and onto
moderated web based forums. That is regrettable in my opinion but
you can't fight city hall. That said, let's start a thread here
listing some of the better cruising web sites.

Thanks for the effort, perhaps some people might find them of value, but
not me . . .

I can't abide moderated forums. I find them to all be abodes of bully
moderators who think their **** doesn't stink so they goose-step up and
down the aisles lording their superiority and power over anybody they
don't happen to like and with those they happen to disagree with. If I
want a dictator I'll move to Cuba.

When the oceans of the world become moderated that is when this sailor
will give up sailing as an endeavor no longer worth pursuing.

Apparently you've not found any good ones. In a good forum, the moderators do almost nothing except
help dummies like me use the forum.

Of course, they don't do much because they don't have a bunch of personal insulters and name callers
to deal with. (I s'pose I shoulda said 'with whom to deal', but I was too lazy.)
