Do you have a clue what I'm talking about? Ever bothered to see
which group you are in? It's called rec.boats! What the hell do
the political posts have to do with boating information? I know
there are other forums, but personally prefer newsgroup based
forums to web based.

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.



There are plenty of moderated boating forums. So why do you stay here if you
don't like it?

Folks like you sound just like the people how call into a radio talk show
telling the host how much the hate him or her and hate the show. But of course
they tune in everyday. :-)

Not really.
See, I can stop myself from reading OT posts. And know how to setup filters.
Unlike, apparently some of you.

Do tell.

I would guess the same thing they have to do with the topics of the other
forums they infest, nothing.
So why do you read them?
Can't help yourself?

So now you are saying you like unmoderated newsgroups better than moderated
forums!?
But want the unmoderated newsgroups to run like moderated forums.

Funny, I could have swore you wrote:

I give up. When the two of you come to a consensus on what you think, get back
to me.

Till then, get used to the way things work around here and learn how to work
around them. Because they aren't going to be changing any time soon from what I
can see. Thank goodness.
