Unfortunatly, I think this should be kept as a boating website, not a place to
debate political issues! I'm sure that political sites out there abound. This is how I would handle it : boating stays with boating !!!!! political stays with political !!!!! S o u l d I b e m o r e e x p l i c i t e ? |

Yes. Be more explicit about what you'll do when you see boating messages
which do not interest you. Can you master the difficult art of not looking? If you're driving down a busy commercial strip looking for a hardware store and see a dozen tanning parlors, none of which interest you, do you pull into their parking lots and tell them they don't belong there? Or, do you simply Not Look? :-) "SASIINC" wrote in message ... Unfortunatly, I think this should be kept as a boating website, not a place to debate political issues!

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? "LaBomba182" wrote in message ...

Subject: Can someone help me find the boating website instead of this
political site From: "John Smith" Capt. Bill, you are one of the regulars who make great contributions to technical questions concerning marine engines. I like to think I make contributions to more than just the engine threads. :-) It looks like you occasional will get into the political topics, Very rarely. but that is not the main reason you come. It appears that you come here is to discuss boats. That and the fact that here you are free to speak your mind. Unlike moderated forums. 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. Because the for the most part they show up, post little or nothing about boats and then start another OT thread about OT posts. There by adding to the OT noise that they claim to hate so much. It gets to the point where it's hard to find a good black kettle for all the black pots piled on top of them. The OT threads have gotten out of hand, They seem to ebb and flow. and they will probably never stop You got that right. but can't you understand when someone comes to rec.boats, they are amazed that 80% of the posts are concerning politics? Sure. But they need to stick around and add to the OnT posts. Not the OT posts. 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? As has been expressed here and in most other newsgroups, these places are like bars. If you don't like the conversation, move down a seat or two and start your own. I am not trying to get into an argument with you, And you won't get one. :-) I just can't figure out why you find the "OT whiners" so outrageous? I don't find them "outrageous," just mildly annoying in a humorous way. Capt. Bill |

Anyone who wants a moderated group should try posting something in rec.guns that's not right out of the NRA party newspaper. I once tried to suggest that pistol permits weren't such a bad idea. The message never made it "into print". When I asked the moderator about it, he gave me some crap about my email address being invalid. When I pointed out that he'd approved 3 other messages from me, 2 before and 1 after the offending one, he didn't respond. I've had similar experiences in rec.hunting. |
