Net,
I feel your pain. A lot of this stuff should be takes over to
rec.fishing, as the participants are just baiting each other to see who
bites, I can just visualize some of these guys sitting back saying "I got
ya, another one bites the hook". For better or worse it's a community and
you just can't shut some people up. I used to use my blocker a lot more in
the past, but you never know when a topic turns into something
interesting.
I guess we're all guilty of OT posts (like this one here) to one degree or
another. I just try to keep it pleasant. :-)

Hey Paul.

I'm not in any pain about it...I never see those clowns. I just think its
funny, that their postings were documented, and pointed out, just to show
just how ignorant and stupid they really are.

Even funnier is the fact that the top abusers don't even have boats.

And I personally don't think comments and observations *about* the group are
off-topic. Discussing the health and well being *of* the group, can be
nothing more than dead on-topic.

Well, looks like were taking the ski boat out of the water this
weekend...its getting into the 40s over night here in Ohio...hope you had a
good season too.

Take care.

Thanks. It's a shame some of these old farts have nothing better to do

to ruin an otherwise good newsgroup.

Nice going Alexis!

Yet another lying idiot outed...

Too bad you won't see this Netsock.

I'd love to see a list of your "on-topic" posts.

All you ever do is bitch about other people, and then put up a filter excluding
almost everybody except yourself so you can call names, lob insults, and stay
effectively insulated from rebuttal. When I was about six years old, I knew
some girls who acted the same way.

Calling Kearns a "lying idiot" is ridiculous.
Go countersink yourself.

quit whining.

don't know about junnie's politics (I don't read politcal posts), but do feel
that calling junnie a "lying idiot" is indeed ridiculous. junnie is a idiot
not intelligent enough to even know what a lie is.

netsuck, of course, doesn't qualify as anything.

Net**** posts here under several handles. Still.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

[sniff sniff] cut it out, junnie. [sniff] you're making me [ sniff] cry [sniff

Does an RC boat count? If not, I still only have the one 18.5' Reinell :(

Two boats if my memory is correct. Some days it seems like everyone
in FL owns at least two boats. We do, and that's not counting the
inflatables and the canoe.

That's still not enough however...

You mean you get to count "little" boats?

Wow - I've got six then!!!!

One 32' Contender.

One 20' Ranger

One 14' Starcraft "tin" boat.

One Sailfish

One Laser.

One canoe.

Kewl!!

There *is* something wrong with the basic count premise of that OT list.....
I've never initiated an OT post (that I can recall) and rarely get sucked
into one. Usually when I do it's just to call a forensic "foul" as it were.
