I think your header is a good way to start. No politics or religion (added). I'd add a ban on
personal insults also.

Then, add no answering to the fools who violate the resolution. Just because someone can't stop
themselves doesn't mean you, or anyone else, should allow 'anything to happen'.

I notice Harry wished you well, but didn't say 'yes' or 'no'.

Also add NO RECIEPES, or MOTORBIKES, or GOLF, or ****TY TOYOTA TRUCKS,
or CANCER POSTS (call me a hard ass, but they're just too dam
depressing !!)

I'm in favor of all those "no-no's," and if you can add in grandchildren
and dumb dogs, it'll be a winner. Oh...I think recipes using seafood
you've caught are reasonable.

Dogs and grandkids make good boating partners though. Motorbikes are
helpful. An aquaintance of mine has a 33 ft. Wellcraft on the Lake of
the Ozarks, and on it he has a couple of Honda Express motor scooters.
They use them after thy dock at other places and run around on them to
restaurants etc. Light enough to man handle over the side on the dock.
On the back of my old 27 ft. Chris craft, i was thinking on strapping
a 75cc honda to the swim platform for the same reason. Licensed, it
would have been great for going down the Illinois, to St. Louis, or up
to Peoria and running up town etc.

Motorcycles are cool.

I'm in favor of that, but most of the posters are non-boaters and the
vast majority come here to post for, against, or about Harry. Harry is
their straw man and since they have no significant life away from this
newsgroup, this OT posting stupidity gives their life meaning.

I don't mean to be a nattering nabob of negativism, but this has been
tried before and it seems a non-political newsgroup just doesn't
interest them anymore. After a very few days, the hormones of drama
have worn off, and they have to get another fix of them with a
political kool-aid post.

We shall see.

I've noticed that too.This past year things started off well, then
after a week the place headed for the sewer.... Maybe this time if all
works to boating favor it might make it a month, but i doubt it.

I'm in, though.

Boat use of motorbikes/scooters is as appropriate as recipes of fish
caught and cooked...directly boating related, typically. No argument
from me on that.

Those Honda scooters are pretty old.

Harry will push the envelope until it tears.. It's what he has been
working on for years here, silence folks he doesn't agree with. You want
this to work, include a ban on harry, jps, don, and bob.... That's the
only way it will work...- Hide quoted text -

Pope Harry blesses motorcycles. I wonder what else Harry will deem
acceptable to post? As if it matters.

You miss the point completely. 99% of us have great lives but can't post
about them because Harry, Jps, Don, etc will mock or turn them into
something nasty... I would love to tell you all about how my training
has moved from my daughter to my wife who has taken a serious interest
in a very physical sport.

.... but I don't dare, even if there is a truce because I know as well as
you do, being an election year next year Harry will have his audience
here, stalk and silence any detractors, and use any info gleaned during
the truce against us all by February...
