Default Isn't there a boat NG around here?

Seems the only general boat NG has been infiltrated, nay, hooliganized,
by a half dozen crusty, "my dick is bigger", curmudgeons who think that
by putting OT in the subject, they aren't really flooding this group
with crap.
Since you don't seem to have much interest in boats,why don't you
summertime boaties form a new group like rec.boats.fuk'em.lets.talk.politics

=================

Good idea but I doubt it will happen. The captive audience effect
would be lost and what fun would that be?

What did happen over the years, with a fair amount of success, is that
boating sub groups have been spawned for subjects like boat building,
racing, cruising and electronics. It is a two edged sword however
since that has siphoned off a great deal of the "On Topic" threads
from here.

For someone with the ambition and know how, some possible new sub
groups might be "rec.boats.engines", "rec.boats.fishing",
"rec.boats.maintenance", "rec.boats.repair", "rec.boats.purchasing",
etc. That would further splinter the discussions and probably leave
this group with nothing but "Off Topic" which is where it is already
headed of course.
