It seems that when someone post a complaint about
OT subjects, most everyone agrees that they have no place

I don't care.
If I didn't want to read a type of post I would block it.
By the way, this post should have been marked "OT". You're part of the
problem.

However, no one does anything to stop it.

You can't stop it unless the group was moderated.
Moderated groups suck.

All you posters who are guilty know who you are.
If you must post political topics, go to a political ng
to do so.

Most know, that in political groups the threads are highjacked just as you
have done here to bring your agenda to the top of the list. This is the
second time in 24 hrs. this subject has been addressed. Do you understand
that.

If you feel you must extend an already drawn out subject
by flaming someone, then email them direct. Better yet,
exchange phone numbers and you both could discuss things
real time.

I don't come to this news group to seek friendship, I'm looking for
information sometimes, most times it's entertainment.

Yes, I can activate filters to block most of the crap... but why should I
have to when this is a news group about boating?
When I filter my incoming posts I never know if
I may be missing something important.

On a scale of 1-10 how important could it possibly be???

Not all of us have broadband internet and every extra ot
post takes just that much longer to download.

I can agree on this point if you pay for bandwith used.
Otherwise just give up another second in your life and wait till it
downloads.


OK...(stepping down off soap box) I'm finished.
