anyone care to make a new year's resolution of turning this back into
a boating newsgroup?

i'll be the first to say i will NOT be the first to post ANYTHING non
boating related. of course, if some idiot chooses to do so then
anything can happen

so what do you think, crew...anyone up for the challenge?

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.
