Chuck Gould offered a nice solution to the problem. Read it in the
thread
"Starting a new newsgroup".

I will be interested to see if everyone agrees on his solution,
especially
those Chuck names in his post. As I said, I am in, but will bow once the
agreement is breached by one of the "Dirty 7", as well as the likes of
doug
kanter, Dave Hall, bb, JohnH, ignoramus and basskisser. ;-)


JohnH? Why him? From what I've read in his posts, he comes across as one
of
the good guys.

I like Chuck's idea and emailed him off NG about it. This NG is seriously
dwindling in membership because of the nasty comments and constant OT
threads
(which can't really be avoided, since it's winter and our boats are all
winterized for the season).

....just my humble opinion. Take it for whatever it's worth.

I agree with what you say about John. Although well mannered in his
replies he does involve himself in quite a number of OT posts. The purpose
of the agreement is to curtail the OT posts.

Perhaps the final solution is that the OT posts stop entirely or are brought
to an acceptable level.

I applaud Chuck for being honest in his post and his assessment of his
contribution to those posts. ;-)
