Only when they are used inappropriately.

Are you having a bad day? :^( Sorry, couldn't resist.

It's the OT political posts that are annoying to me. Like these
morons have nothing better to do, and as if none of us boaters have
radio, television or newspapers.

Don't waste your time bitching about all the OT stuff. Just take what you
need and leave the rest (Joan Baez (sp) circa. '66).

Rec.boats is good for some laughs and you can get real information in
response to a serious boating question.

Its just a bunch of bored guys tapping on keyboards.

Smiling faces sometimes
Pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces
Of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies
And I got proof

The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies
And I got proof

Not nearly as annoying as those who reply with full quote of the previous
six related posts in order to append a two-line comment.

You spelled Baez correctly, but your attribution is tenuous.

That line is from "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down," by Robbie Robertson
(The Band).

"I don't mind them choppin' wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
Take what you need and leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best...

It was the night they drove ol' Dixie down, etc"

Joan covered the song about 1969 or 70, and did a credible job.

Still say that Joan had the best voice of any female vocalist in the 60's.
Spectacular range and control. She didn't generate the raw, sexual energy on
stage like, say, Janis Joplin ((what a loss her
early self destruction was)) but she had a great talent by any classical
definition.

I don't listen to much music except rock and blues, but I do treasure one of
JB's
later CD's, "Diamonds and Rust in the Bull Ring." I can recommend it without
reservation. Baez sings in Spanish on several numbers, a genuine treat for the
ears!

How about the voice and songs of Joni Mitchell? She is my favorite!

What? You prefer another female vocalist (who, by the way, produced some very
nice work)? Oh no! This being rec.boats and all, we'll need to exchange 50-60
posts of flame on topic. :-)

Actually, I have no problem with top posting. :-)

If you want to scroll down and erad the rest you can, but you don't
need too just to find the reply. If you've been following the thread,
you already know the rest.

Then top-post to boot.

You beat me too it.

Joni ruled in the 70's

Court & Spark is a masterpiece. She is one
of the most talented songwriter/musician types
of our time.

Not like the crap they call music these days.

No, top posting is for lazy people who can't fathom the way a thread
works.


Agreed. The flawed logic of top posters is that they all seem to think that
their reply is the definitive end to the thread, and that no other posts
will be following. A thread is a stream of consciousness, or in the case of
wrecked.boats, perhaps more of a puddle of consciousness. But at any rate
the only way to achieve continuity and proper chronology of prior posts
included in a current post is to bottom post. When there's a mix of top and
bottom previous posts included in a current post, it is nearly impossible to
determine the posting chronology. There's a reason that printed information
is printed from the top down. Nobody would want to read a newspaper
article/magazine article/book, etc. if the paragraphs of the story were
scattered about the page all higledy pigledy, now would they?

Gee, haven't seen top/bottom posting discussed for weeks. I prefer reading
top posts and that is the way I post my comments. If doing things the
easiest way is some one's definition of lazy, so be it.
