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.

What newsreader are you using for scoring the posts?

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.

Please, use this newsgroup for recreational boats.

10 OT posts about OT posts.

Nothing like a good old OT whiner circle jerk to keep the OT whiners happy.
