Please, use this newsgroup for recreational boats. By what I've seen this
morning it's more about Bush, world economy, bigots, jobs overseas,
political humor, etc. rather than boats. It's getting completely out of
hand. Please fellows, there must other newsgroups that cover these subjects
and if not, form your own. It would help the rest of us.

Give it up.

The rude and inconsiderate will continue to post OT here regardless of
Usenet etiquette and rules...their just not that smart.

Use a kill file and a key-word filter. That's what I do, and it works great.
I get 100% boating related threads, and never "see" all the OT garbage, and
the people that fuel it.

It's just about going fast...that's all...

Well, the only thing I can say is this group is not alone. EVERY group
seems to be spammed like crazy, about everything BUT what the newsgroup is
about. Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing a few boating related spams, if nothing
else to drown out the steady political drum beat. I'm going to get on some
poliitical newsgroups and start posting about boats.

Well...I should have said I filter out 100% of OT posts, and those people
who fuel them.

I do have to "add" to the list on occasion as well...I stand corrected. :)

Take care.

i nice cheery kinda thought, but it will never happen. you can try and
filter / ignore them, but it is like fighting spam. some things in life are
quite unpleasant, but they must be done.

I recall when we had some quite pleasant boating conversations here with
a variety of interesting people. Many of the latter were simply driven
off of here by posters determined to grind exceeding fine (and in
finality, useless) points, or by obnoxious and accusatory know-it-alls
who in reality knew nothing, like Skipper and Karen Smith. The politics
filled the vacuum created by the departure of fun boating conversation.

If you think otherwise, just read a few of Smith's attack dog posts on
boating subjects. Who the hell wants to get down in a sea of her feces?

Who can ever forget the famous bilge pump debate between Marcus and "Mrs.

Geeze, I wish I had saved all those posts. They were classic comedy.

You? You seem to crave crap with the amount of it you throw around in
this newsgroup. Your supply of it seems endless.
