Hey, Keyz. Have you ever posted anything boating related here, except your
"Boat for Sale" ad a few weeks ago?

There is a curious class of NG folks who are *never* heard from. No questions,
no comments, no useful observations,
no boating related opinions, nada. The only time these folks appear on the
radar is when they log on to bitch about the content of the group. The group
itself controls the content.

If there is a subject you are hoping to discuss, start a thread. That makes
more sense than fuming away that others in the group aren't addressing the
boating issues you are interested in.

Consider being proactive, rather than simply reactive.

Yeah, there is a fair amount of background noise in this group. There are
people who
start 4 or more threads per day, almost every day, and few if any of their
topics relate to boating. The solution is to participate in the boating threads
and thereby encourage people to discuss boating topics here, rather than to
brood silently until you can't take it anymore and then lob in a few long-range
insults.
