Not quite.

Anyway, what I meant to say is that if you do not know my name, then you
haven't read any of my *boating* posts and are probably here for the
wrong reasons.

Bye.

There's no door...or I'd warn you not to let it hit you in the ass.

What a piece of work!
Insult someone who actually knew what he was talking about.


This political based poster is probably *the* textbook example of what
is wrong with this news group. He is one of the very few people I
have ever killfiled. With killfiles in place for those that post
nearly nothing related to boating and general subjects that are off
topic, my useful bandwidth from this newsgroup is running about
181-retrieved to 288-available or about 63%. I find that I spend
*way* less time trying to teach pigs to dance and much more time
actually accomplishing gainful activity.... like boating.

I highly recommend that any poster interested in boating procure
adequate software to filter out the off-topic vandals and stay here
and continue to post on-topic responses.

To leave this group and go elsewhere only accomplishes what these OT
posters desire.... summed up by the response, "Bye. There's no
door...or I'd warn you not to let it hit you in the ass." I don't
know quite what it is that they hate about rec.boats, nor do I
understand there motivations, however, I do know that leaving only
achieves their goals at the expense of you giving up what can be a
rewarding and valuable resource.

Think about it..... and stay.


Harry Krawse seems to be your "textbook example" of what is wrong with this
NG. Combined with Chuck Gould they have managed to take this NG from a
boating NG to a political one.

But I see you have not filtered him out as you respond to some of his posts.

Will you be doing so in the near future? And have you add Chuck to your
ignore filter also? Or is it only the people who have different political
views (from yours) that you filter and bitch about?

Me thinks so.

That explains a lot. I live in FL and my sister (who IMO is totally wacky),
lives in MD. I always blame it on the wacky mental vibrations sent from DC.

Don can't stop because he thinks (like most Canadian socialist planner
wannabes) that he knows what is best for Americans. Don thinks that
he knows who the best US President will be. Not to mention that
he feels Texans and Floridians (along with others) are all "gun-nutz"

(ala'

daddy krause his mentor) and shouldn't be allowed to protect themselves
from criminals and that they should totally depend on government for
solutions to all of their problems like he does.

snip...

Just being neighbourly by pointing out what may be 'bad' for you.....the US
is too big and complex for an outsider like me to think they know what's
best....or even who the best president would be.

I diss Texas & Florida a bit just to jab at certain deserving posters.
By your antics here, a person could argue you are giving Texas a bad name.




Texas already has a bad name.

Sorry, I couldn't figure out what you "meant" to say.

I responded to what you actually said.


It's a function of your double digit

I've been reading this newsgroup for a few years now, giving advice where
and
when it was needed or requested. However, for various reasons (mostly the
political and BS), I find it's time to leave. Should anyone require advice
that
actually pertains to boating and/or their engines, I'd suggest visiting
the
following sites:

www.marineengine.com , www.maxrules.com , www.iboats.com

Joe,

As a long time participant but now only an occasional lurker --- hate to
see you go, but certainly understand the reasons. Thanks for all your
positive contributions back when this was a decent NG.

Jim,

I have told Harry that he posts too much off topic. He does.

My standard, and it is admittedly somewhat subjective, is how much a
person *does* post on topic vs. his/her total posts tempered with
their stated intent. Harry has always been civil to me, even though
we stood toe-to-toe when I supported Bush in the last election. I
questioned his position, his sources, and his conclusions.... net
result was that (1) he was always a gentleman about it and (2) I found
*myself* posting *WAY* too much off topic. I filter most of Harry's
posts by filters created to cleanse my downloads of off topic content,
whether it be liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat, whatever.
*ANY* OT content (detected by the software) goes in the bozo bin
without regard to the poster's identity.

My *REAL PROBLEM(s)* have been with those who almost *NEVER* (or truly
never) post on topic. They come here to disrupt the newsgroup for
their own selfish reasons. Some have gone to the extreme lengths of
posting hundreds of off topic posts, admitting that they never come
here to discuss boating (since they go to other sites for ON-topic
posts) and then having the unmitigated gall to secretively email
those alternate sites as the alternative to get away from their
disruptive OT postings. Clearly, their hate is directed at rec.boats.
I don't get it. Do you?

Understand that nearly all of my filters relate to *content* not
identities. The few people that I have killfiled by name or alias
have earned that dubious distinction by going out of their way to be
purposefully incendiary and predominantly off topic.

Bait *me* and you will *surely* end up in the bozo-bin. Such was
NOYB's fate.

Show me whe

1. Harry does not insult someone in his reply to their post disagreeing
with his.

2. Harry posts boating related topics.

Your examples will be few and far between.

*He* is the center of the problem. Concentrate your efforts (to improve the
group) at him.
