If you are so dedicated to boating, don't post OT. I guess I am
dreaming ehh?

I'll start. Work has me pinned to the wall this year. I took my boat
out only twice, Memorial Day and the 4th of July weekend.

We do have plans for Labor day to spend the Holiday on the boat.

I have a small ding in the prop that I incurred over the 4th of July
weekend. The ding surprised me since what I thought was a black paint
over a smooth aluminum surface turned out to be more of a heavy epoxy
finish over a somewhat rough surface (almost looks like a coarse sand
casting) . I paid a couple hundred for the prop, if I remember it is a
16"x15 or 16 pitch prop.

Is the rough undersurface and epoxy coating a normal expectation for a
prop?

Should I consider stainless steel since I do beach the boat a lot
while camping with family. The outdrive is a Volvo Penta 260A if I
remember correctly. A rough year for boating for me.

Wow...I have exactly the same year. I left my boat at my lake house, and
got there on Mem Day and the 4th. I'm heading up tomorrow. I also trashed
a prop on the 4th.

I guess you ARE dreaming, seeing how your reply isn't boating related, either.

No way!

He loves this OT stuff.

How do I know?

Because even though myself and others have repeatedly explained to him how
filters and kill files work he just keeps on keeping on with the same OT whine
over and over and over again.

Maybe he's compulsive obsessive?

Interesting that this post provoked more responses than most boating related
posts. Interesting, but not surprising, I'm reminded of the folks who used
to say they subscribed to Playboy for the articles.

If you don't like the OT stuff, use the tools that all readers have to block
it. If you haven't implemented those tools, please stop complaining. There
are a lot of bored people out there who welcome any kind of attention.
You have to be quick on the trigger, just say no.

This post almost screams "please respond with more OT stuff so we can get
another OT thread started".
Come on now, did you never look at the centerfold?

You are posting from an AOL account, you need to go to AOL Help to determine
how to filter out newsgroup BS. There are a number of alternative newsgroup
readers you can use that provide extensive filtering capability if AOL
doesn't meet your needs. Go to Google and search on "usenet newsgroup
readers"., there are several free choices.
Or, call AOL support to ask "how do I filter newsgroup messages?"

I do block out all the OT clowns, trolls, and those who feed them. I also
block out key words as well. But I don't agree with you when you say "stop
complaining".

This *IS* a boating group. Those who post OT are in violation of this groups
charter, and Usenet etiquette. Not only do we have the right to complain,
but we should as well...including complaints to their ISPs. More and more
ISPs are getting more strict on Usenet rules...you'd be surprised how
successful you could be...especially with repeated complaints.

Those who don't wish to use filters, shouldn't have to...start complaining,
and don't stop!

Lets see, this must be at least the third or forth time you've asked this
question.

This really is your picture isn't it?

Well OK, but send your complaints to a place where they might do some good.
Clearly, repeated complaints to the readership of this newsgroup is not
helpful in resolving the issue. Those who constantly post OT don't care
about your complaints, and may even enjoy the idea that they have created a
stir. Much of the readership here doesn't really care about boating.

Now, I don't post OT very often, but I feel I must share with you my
opinions on the upcoming election. If my guy doesn't win, it will be the end
of our nation.
The other guy is a hopeless jerk who will destroy our country and our way of
life. You know who I mean....

Nope. I have many friends, and am liked very much.

But I can tell your an asshole. I mean, why would someone knowingly
post OT to a boating group?

Got an intelligent answer?

Same type of person who would whine about them while posting to one there by
adding to the volume.

Yes, stop adding to them, use filters, use killfiles, stop whinning.

Based on the quality of your whine, my guess is, you "see fit to expose and
