It's comfy under it's cover so I leave it alone.
Ouch - 70's here last week - clear skies. Now if I only had some free
time. :-(

Then why does he/you ?
Wade through the garbage that is?

I dont. I have filters and kill files set up. I was only letting him know
that I agree with him, what I do about it, and that it works very well.

Most newsgroups are just like this one.

None are as polluted as this group.

And whinning about it only adds to the OT count.

I dont believe the discussion *about* the group is OT.

So, just don't read any post labled OT.
Or better yet, filter them and the main OT posters out.
It's a bit of a no brainer.

Again, if you would have read more closely, I already do just that.

Take care.

I don't have to "defend" Harry.
He does a fine job of that himself.

I wouldnt know. I kill filed that challenged clown years ago.

And in case you haven't noticed, he owns most of you.

Speak for yourself. That idiot owns no part of me.

You all go on and on about Harry and his political OT postings. But you
just
can't stop replying to them now can you.

I havnt replied to that pathitic troll in years, because I dont see his
posts. Go ahead and check.

I can't count how many times over the years I have seen posts about not
replying to Harry's posts.

Here here!

And there by stopping or slowing down the OT post.
Didn't happen then, won't happen now.

I have a nice list every day. No political garbage, or old clowns with
double-digit IQs...just about 100% boating related.

Like I've said before, you folks are just like the people who call into
talk
radio and bitch to the host about how crappy his/her show is, but in the
end,
you just can't stop yourselves from listening day after day.

Please be specific as to who you are addressing. I *DO NOT* "listen" to the
garbage, but when I "hear" people complain about it, I *do* offer my help.

People who feed the trolls, are just as guilty as the trolls themselves.

See, it works.

Well, your wrong. It clearly is.

Really?
That's funny, because no matter how many times I "closely" read this I still
don't see the part about your using filters.

"The point is...we DO like the boating information here. He just doesnt feel
(and justly so) that he should have to wade through other garbage that
doesnt belong here, to get to it."

Guess I need new glasses.

Take care, Capt. Bill

See how easy that was.

I don't have to check. I wasn't replying to you. Note: (From:

Now how needs to read more closely?

Great. If the others would just follow your lead there would be less OT post to
OT post about. :-)

I must have missed your OT post about how to setup filters.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

But wait, I did. :-)

Bullship. You post here under several handles, when your daddy lets you.

Apparently not. :-)

Capt. Bill

No its not.

I don't know why you would think that.

Its the same thing as a group of boaters, talking about the condition of the
lake.
