Ya, I don't like boats, they're just a bunch of work.
I visit here because it has active political discussion.

I visit here because in my real life I don't know or associate with
right-wing dumfochs, racists, pseudo-religious nutcases, women haters,
et cetera. This newsgroup, rec.boats, has carefully assembled quite a
number of them, and thus fulfills my interest in the sociology of
"conservatives" without having to get close enough to any of them to
risk catching their nuttiness.

For "boating" discussions of interest, there are many other venues where
there are plenty of actual boaters.
