Nothing. Certain things in life you have to deal with, so it is suggested that
you adjust your outlook accordingly.

Ummm. Perhaps quit posting OT just to complain about OT posts?

Apparently nothing for this particular group. Would be nice if we
could get it moderated just to stop these OT postings, but I don't
know if it could be done with this existing group nor do I know of
anyone with enough time on their hands to do this, except for the OT
posters. :^o

Do you think there would be enough interest in creating another
boating newsgroup, but one that would be about boating?

I am in the process of incepting a Formula Boat Owners Newsgroup. I will
open it to general boating discussion if there is a call for it.

Mark,

You are correct, but without the OT, I think this could be the best
general-purpose boating newsgroup. I can't for the life of me figure
out why folks are creating political posts in a boating newsgroup. I
really wish it would stop, but know of no way this can be done without
them volunteering to do so.

Thats why Al Gore invented newsgroup filters. It was soon after he invented
the internet and spell check.
