Probably not. Hadn't noticed that JPS and a couple of others have
taken the off-topic political bull**** to a new level.
They found a good system. Who needs an original thought when your
goal is only to make sure that every other thread in the groups starts
with "OT"? Just take articles and editorials - who cares if they are
copyrighted - from other sites, newpapers, whatever, and post them
here. Post an entire ****ing article! You shouldn't have to click a
link and leave rec.boats to read a pilfered poltical rant.
Damned near destroyed the newsgroup and appear to proud of themselves
for it.
Curtis- I made a similar comment when I first found this group- and
got my butt whupped. It seems that the founders of the group, in the
earliest days of USENET, never thought that political discussion would
arise, and never prohibited it in the FAQ or "newgroup" message.
I researched the FAQ, and it is mostly a collection of boating
etiquette and how-to's, found in remnants on various servers.
Unless the group adopted a new FAQ, political conversation is not
prohibited.
