Hey...you're right. He hasn't been around in ages. Neither has the right
reverend Dave Hall, but who cares.....

Speaking of OT threads getting out of hand, where is Gould? Did he promise
to not post OT anymoe and it resulted in zero posts at all?

Capt. Bill, you are one of the regulars who make great contributions to
technical questions concerning marine engines. It looks like you
occasional
will get into the political topics, but that is not the main reason you
come. It appears that you come here is to discuss boats. What I have
never understood is why you view the newbies who come into the group and
complain about the signal to noise ratio, as being an OT whiner.

The OT threads have gotten out of hand, and they will probably never
stop
but can't you understand when someone comes to rec.boats, they are
amazed
that 80% of the posts are concerning politics? Even the people who
crudely
express their concerns, don't come close to the mud that is slung in the
majority of the OT discussions?

I am not trying to get into an argument with you, I just can't figure
out
why you find the "OT whiners" so outrageous?

Subject: Can someone help me find the boating website instead of
this
political site
From: "Doug Kanter"

Let's say you notice a subject header like this: "Which anchor style
for
this kind of bottom?"

Now, let's say you have no interest in that message? How will you
handle
that situation?

Why, he would read it. Just like all the other OT whinners in this
group.

And by the way , sasiinc, this is a newsgroup not a "website".

Capt. Bill
