You are very mistaken here. Look more closely. Boatered is not
moderated, it is censored. I believe it is owned as well as
sponsored by Boatfix.com. If you found something on the internet
that you think other boaters should know about, it had better be
at Boatfix or don't bother posting about it. This was certainly
the impression I was left with and why I left so soon.

If you want to see a good boating site that is moderated and not
censored, go to TheHullTruth.com. Good site, but I actually do
prefer newsgroups for discussion types of forums.

Lurked through the boatered site a few minutes ago.

Some of the threads there are not that much different than here. Some guy put
up a question about licensing boaters, and there are no end of conservative
posts
slamming CT. and other states for being "under Clinton's big-government
influence" etc.

Less Hall, the moderator, chimed in to scold the poster suggesting that a
minimum education standard might be a good thing with a smart-ass remark along
the general line of, "with all the good stuff you have posted here, why would
you post this liberal rant?"

All the folks clamoring for a moderated group- go take a look see. All you wind
up with is a group that generally reflects the politics and prejudices of the
moderator.
