No one is looking in a mirror here. I've been around this NG since
1998, and it used to be I couldn't wait to log in every day and see
what was being discussed. It was awesome at one time. I rarely login
here anymore.

Just checking in here. I know what you mean; I've been here since the
middle 80's. I used to love this place, and posted and discussed
boats here all the time. Now, though, I just click through it maybe
once every 3 or 4 months. It's not just rec.boats, either, it's just
about all of USENET. Everywhere you go, it's the same, tired old "OT:
Bush lied about WMD's!!!" garbage. These idiots have such puny,
insignificant lives that the only way they can masturbate their
microscopic egos is to post their whining on USENET, hiding behind
their computer monitors so nobody can see what peabrains they really
are.

I remember when USENET was an incredible place, before the web had
even been invented, and we used newsreaders like RN or TRN or TIN,
advertising online was utterly unheard of, and the only people online
were professors, graduate students, and scientists at government
research labs. Those days are long gone, though, and complaining
about the present state of USENET is, well... you might as well be
complaining about the sky being blue. Sigh.

If you **** can that idiot Hairy Kraut and a few others the signal to
noise
ratio improves vastly.
The only time I see posts from Fruitcake Hairy is when someone falls for
his
idiotic ramblings and posts a reply.

ON TOPIC - Bajaman....Got a Baja? We have 2.....

Exactly. I ploinked that pathetic idiot almost 3 years ago, and anybody who
regularly feeds him. I also "word block" a list of non-boat key words like
"ot, democrat, republican, bush, war, wmd, politics, election, kerry, iraq"
ect.

After my filters run, I have a very nice list of almost all boating related
topics.

Thanks for the hints. I set up a filter as you described and it really cut
down the trash.

If things don't change I won't be here for long.

Jesus....I used to come here regularly but quit because of all the lame
ass
political whining that was becoming more and more frequent.
Looks like things are getting WORSE!
How 'bout some talk about BOATS? There are plenty of other forums for
limp
wristed liberal whiners to try and spew their diarrhea in, instead of
rec.boats......
God there are some LOSERS in here.....get a friggin' LIFE!

Do you have a specific question about boats you'd like answered?

WOW! Blazing hypocritical retort!

Yes he does have a legitimate question, as has almost everyone who has
replied to this thread: Why are so many posts, especially by folks
like yourself, (1)off topic and (2)abusive. This threads is lamenting
the demise of this NG into infighting among digital hillbillys that
have nothing to contribute to boating. Let's look at the ratio of
boating to OT posts on rec.boats. Start w/ yourself and move on to
the other regulars on this NG.

Tell you what, use that line "Do you have a specific question about
boats you'd like answered?" after every response to a post you make
here. Better yet, ponder that line before you take fingers to
keyboard in the future. Poof... Silence.

Post less, contribute more.

What kind of boat do you have, Carl? And does it list to the right or to
the left?

What a dick. Carl has forgotten more than you'll ever hope to learn about
boats. He's an experienced marine tech who's helped countless people here
in years gone by. Unfortunately, having to put up with nimrods like you has
led him to spend his time where it is more appreciated. Now **** off.

What kind of boat do you have RG? Or do you and your life-partner Carl
share one?

You're absolutely right and it's unfortunate. I wish this could
become a moderated forum. Then and only then the OT crap would
stop. Seems that only the OT posters would have a probem with
this.
