John,

I wish and probably you wish what you said was the truth, but if you look at
the posts from last summer, you will see this forum is full of name calling
all year round. It appears that is why people come here. Check out what
was posted last summer between May and August 2003. It appears that this
guy Harry drops his bait and everyone is fighting over the hook trying to
see who they insult. Harry might be the instigator, but he would be nothing
more than a gnat, if it wasn't for everyone jumping onto the bandwagon..

The problem is not only Harry, it is so widespread that only a fool would
come here to discuss boats. Harry is probably a major contributor to the
problem but there are lots of others.

It would be interesting to see why these people find so much fun calling
each other names. I am sure it has something to do with low self-esteme
or
not having friends you could actually discuss this with in real, but it
is
hard to say. This group has a large following of people who devote their
entire life to calling others names. Wow, what a waste of time and
energy.
I am sure their moma's would be ashamed of them.

Doesn't Harry Krause understand this is a boat NG? If he is so
confused about this, how can he think anybody would consider any of
his thoughts?

John, most of us refrain from name-calling, unless it is used to
praise someone.

Once fishing season starts, you'll see a much higher percent of boat
stuff.

You're correct, of course. Most of us are bored. There's little or no
yard work to be done, boats can't really be run yet, some of us don't
even have to work tomorrow!

No expertise is required to argue about politics, and some *is*
required to provide definitive answers to boating questions. I am not
nearly as knowledgeable about boats as many in the NG, but I'll try to
answer when I feel somewhat knowledgeable.

I'll post a boating question, you find it and answer it. Maybe we can
get a decent thread going.
