![]() Many (if not most) of these OT posts are made by non-boaters. They may *own* a boat, but their boating is never discussed here. One of the more arrogant of these idiots admitted he came here only as a vandal and not to discuss boating. He freely admitted that when he wished to discuss boating he went elsewhere. When he wanted to engage in mischief, this is where he came. That got me to thinking. I wonder if there is not a movement afoot among some (consciously, or not) to attempt to disable rec.boats. I have no real answer for that, but it strengthens my resolve to ignore these posts and forge on with what we should be discussing here. In Agent, I just hit the round circle with a diagonal bar through it... thread is ignored. Whatever you use for a newsreader, I encourage you to learn about and use its capabilities to ignore inappropriate threads. In some instances, killfilling a poster may be appropriate, if they have never made a boating related post... and there are some of those out there posting, now. At any rate, again, the signal to noise ratio has reached the point where we are losing posters. I'm betting that if we forced the noise back down to a whisper, the vandals would slink back to their respective rocks, crawl under, and be quiet. Think about it, the decision is yours. |

You may be correct. (I almost said "right" -- whoops) I'm going to try to be good for a while. It's really hard to stay quiet after reading the stuff being written, but I'm gonna try!

John On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD It's really difficult to get a decent boating discussion going here on a topic of interest, and I don't mean yet another discussion about Bayliner boats. You start something out and the idiots jump right in and Skipperize it. But I try every so often. Less often these days. -- Email sent to is never read. |
