Ker-ripes.

There is *NO* list moderator. The fact that rec.boats is an unmoderated
usenet group has been mentioned hundreds of times.

One more time:

There is NO list moderator here.

Got it now?

NO LIST MODERATOR.

None.

Further, if you are offended by off-topic posts, just put OT in your
filter and you will not see most of them.

I added OT to your header, above. Just say thank you.

Easy one: there is no moderator.

And "list" "newsgroup." The two are very different critters.

And the reason for the high percentage of off-topic (non-boating) posts? I
think it starts with the fact that a handful of people here are willing to
indulge their own doctrinaire predilections here without regard to the damage
that it clearly does to the newsgroup.

I don't like billboards. I think they are ugly. I don't look at them. Check
Barnes & Noble's web site for a book title: "Not Looking - for Dummies". It
can be done, you know.

Doug, I've got some guys coming to your house tomorrow to install the
billboard out front. If it bothers you, just don't look. Same for
the neighbors, they'll get used to it.

Yeah...OK. Fine. :-) Can I cover it with grapevines?

You are kidding, right?
I hope you really don't believe that.
