A good NG gone bad
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 |

OT: A good NG gone bad
I agree with your comments, the proportion of OT posts is now very high.
But, you have to acknowledge that people post OT because they get a response. They are political people, who may not be boat people, who see this forum as an audience for their beliefs. Not to be rude, but your comments are expressed often, and nothing comes of them. Put the political posters on ignore, or kill file, or block: Lose the losers!

Listen up, you friggin' azz-wipes.....we really DON'T care about your
off-topic ramblings, so why the HELL don't you go and create your own little cozy newsgroup where you can endlessly debate your bull****? God....o/t posters are SUCH pieces of ****...... Why do you bother to see/read them? I have one word for you Benjamin, filters! Capt. Bill Capt. Bill needs to because a boater and a captain, instead of an "nothing to do" ot poster. We ( the boaters) are wanting to save this group, all you do bill is try and distroy it with you high school OT postings and irrevelent worthless banter. Your only way of contributing to this group it to try to upset posters and chase people away. What a cheap claim to fame, but then, you did earn it. Man, I really don't like you at all. In real life , you can't possibly be that much of a jerk, but then, mabe you could bill. Where do you get those filters that cut out the sphinters?? |

OT ot off topic" This will eliminate most off topic posts. For the senders that can't or won't use OT on their posts, simply add to blocked sender list. Do the same with flamers. -- Capt.

Subject: A good NG gone bad
From: (Florida Keyz) Capt. Bill needs to because a boater and a captain, instead of an "nothing to do" ot poster. Clueless response from one of the kings of OT posts about OT posts. Want to compare the number of OT posts started by you to the number started by me in the last year? (sound of crickets) Didn't think so. We ( the boaters) are wanting to save this group, all you do bill is try and distroy it with you high school OT postings and irrevelent worthless banter. If it's so irrevelent and worthless, then why do you keep responding to it? :-) Your only way of contributing to this group it to try to upset posters and chase people away. Total BS. What a cheap claim to fame, but then, you did earn it. If I'm famous for that, it's only in your eyes. Man, I really don't like you at all. Funny, you seemed to like me just fine when I passed along that used GPS info to you. In real life , you can't possibly be that much of a jerk, but then, mabe you could bill. Yeah, getting shone up as a hypocrite can sting a bit. But I would still buy you that beer we talked about once. :-) Where do you get those filters that cut out the sphinters?? You'll never use them. You like this OT stuff to much. :-) But while you're at it, look into spell check. Take it from someone who knows, it's worth using. And here's some good news for you Sterling. Starting around the begining of next week I will be gone for about three weeks running/delivering a couple of boats. First a new Broward down through the Exumas and then a custom built in NZ trawler from Walkers to Savannah GA. So you can be as big a hypocite as you want for a while with no fear of anybody calling you on it. At least till I get back or find an Internet cafe. :-) Capt. Bill |

A good NG gone bad
I wish it was easy to get rid of these no-life (and likely no boat!)
puke-heads, but it seems like these lame-ass wannabe armchair politicians are more interested in seeing their posts and keeping off-topic **** stirred up, than in EVER contributing anything boating related. I frequent a lot of newsgroups and am just amazed at the number of off-topic posts by these LOSERS in rec.boats! Listen up, you friggin' azz-wipes.....we really DON'T care about your off-topic ramblings, so why the HELL don't you go and create your own little cozy newsgroup where you can endlessly debate your bull****? God....o/t posters are SUCH pieces of ****...... "Carl Craver" wrote in message nk.net... 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. Carl G.
