I won't dispute there were that many boating posts, but I will say the board was very informative and lighthearted in 'the day'...

Yes, and we had a good mix of interesting people like Wayne "Clams"



Canino, Larry from Charleston, Short Wave Tom, Chuck Gould and many



others. A lot of people stopped telling their more interesting



boating stories after Harry started putting everyone down. I guess



that's all he had left once everyone realized what a fraud he was. The



spoofing and sock puppet epidemics chased away a lot of good people



also.







Unfortunately a lot of folks have moved on to web based moderated



forums. There are some benefits to that but it tends to fragment the



knowledge base and doesn't have the same character.



I barely remember Karen (I believe) who had her giant diesel outboard powered 'frigate' and her dislike for Ficht outboard engines.



And Peggy the sanitizer who had a lot of good stuff concerning keeping bildges clean, odors removed and getting rid of mold.



Sad they're gone.

Yes, both Karen and Peggie were driven off by U-No-Hoos never ending

stream of insults. Peggie is still a major contributor on other

forums however, and also has a book available:



http://www.amazon.com/Get-Rid-Boat-Odors-Aggravation/dp/1892399156



She is OK with being called the Head Mistress, but the Princess of

Poo, not so much. U-No-Hoo is alleged to have once had an unpleasant

confrontation with her at a boat show. Don't know it's true or not.



With Karen it was always humorous to try and decode her Australian

slang expressions.





I enjoyed both of them. Shame they're gone.

Hope you're day is spectacular!

Yeah, good people like that deserve better treatment...

Harry's version of the incident was that he observed her from afar at
the show. It seems that she was talking with someone and he didn't want
to interrupt. Does that sound like Krause? Truth is that he was too
embarrassed to face her after he'd recently dressed her down on
rec.boats for voicing a political opinion; being a woman and all. Krause
has a history of treating women shabbily on rec.boats

Gene, you left a big hole in the boating content when you left, not to
mention a badly needed voice of reason. We need to take back the
group from the loony tunes segment - don't know if its possible.


Get rid of FOAD and political discussion would drop by 80%.

Maybe 90%.

He started 61 political threads in January.

Say what?
Some of y'all see Harry behind every tree.
He's been away soaking up the sun for a week now with very limited internet access.
I doubt he has started one thread this month.
Say what? (How dumb does that sound?)
You sure keep in touch with your big buddy!

Oh, give it a chance. There's not a whole lot of boating going on anywhere right now.

Maybe, but we were out last week....


Shut up Gene....


Well, in my defense, I didn't say it was warm....
