If there were only boating messages posted here, would you read every single
one of them?

It's plainly obvious that this newsgroup has become almost useless as a
boating forum. Rec.cruising, rec.boats.building and alt.sailing are good
but there is also a need for a general boating forum where one does not
have
to wade through all of the political crap and in-fighting posted here. I
can't figure out why people insist on doing this...but they do! So how is
a
new news group formed? To bad we can't make this one moderated to limit
the
content to boating related topics.

No, I'd probably only look at the ones that looked interesting to me. But
at least I'd only have to go through a short selection process. Your point
is?

My point is that you seem to have mastered the concept of "not looking",
which is why we can drive down a busy street 100 times and not notice a new
business that's opened until someone mentions it to us.
