Hi Carl,

About all we can do is bob along in the stream of verbal pollution and
keep our heads above the slime. Ignore any flames, and immediately add the
sender to the killfile.

I have cut down on SO many posts by ignoramuses (that probably don't even
own a boat,) that I am only loading 100 messages a day.

You are most welcome to discuss anything about boats.

I couldn't agree more.
We've lost a lot of good people due to infighting, ot posts, and
politicts.
I for one, like giving helpful advice to fellow boaters.
I do get a bit "gun shy" on giving advice or opinions that are going to
get
argumets
from people who just love the conflict.
Let's clean up this group and we could cut the number of posts in half.

Maybe I'll stay this time.

I have been participating in this NG on and off for about 8 years. My
political leanings have been and will continue to be my own business.
With over 40 years experience as a boater and almost as many years in
the marine business, there have been times that I felt that I had
something of value to contribute.
Hopefully some of my posts have proved useful.
In my opinion, this group is out of control, at least as far as
providing useful information is concerned. The NG has changed - and
not
for the good.
But, the majority rules; apparently political comments are now the
expected norm. What a shame.

Good luck and good boating,
Jim
