The only thing worse than the off-topic posts are the posts complaining
about the off-topic posts.

It was actually 20% before your off-topic post.

But guess what!

If you used "OT" in your subject line, then people who filter "OT" can read
about nothing but boats.

Yup. And you can thank pretty much one person for all the OT garbage here.

Really? I don't see any boating related posts by YOU, either. Take a
look at P. Fritz next. How many boating related posts or replies do you
see by him? How about Smithers and all of his nasty, vulgar clones?
Take a look at how many OT posts JohnH starts, and also how many he
replies to. Next, take a look at NOYB, the best person in the world at
everything, living in the best house, with the best boat, in the best
neighborhood in the best city ever, and see how many posts HE replies
to that have nothing to do with boats.

I think the last time I started an OT thread was when I mentioned the birth of
my grandson, back in mid-April. I'm probably not the best example of OT thread
starters. Maybe HK would be a better example. Let's look at today, for example.

You sure as hell don't have a problem replying to them, though huh?

Are you admitting the error of your implication that I start a lot of OT posts?

..........really gone to hell lately.

Looks like the profane cross posting has definitely "changed the tone
of the group".

How swell.

This morning there are more OT posts than ever, with a bunch of folks
from a dozen different NG's all dumping crap in rec.boats to get even
for the profane cross posts directed into their groups.

There's even some discussion between a bunch of gamers pledging to
start a war that will "destroy the NG" and threatening everybody with
"invisible swords"? Keerist.

Instead of the usual on-and off-topic discussions (and the
ever present HK Fan Club), we now have anonymous netkops posting
obscene remarks, racist/fascist cartoons falsely posted under the name
of an individual too "liberal" for the perpetrator's taste, and a new
group that feels the "anonyous remailing" services allow them to behave
like the irresponsible, pimply, 13-year old delinquents they mentally
are.

You guys happy with the results of your campaign?

Next time you set out to change the world, make sure you've got a
better plan.

And you have been innocent in this? Seems to me you have been one of the
more prolific OT posters and crossposters here.

***********
I don't deliberately cross post. Our porfane net cop is taking care of
the cross posting in his/her effort to secrew up the group. The only
place I noramlly post is here. The only group in which I normally
respond is here. Click on the "Reply" line in a Google newsgroup, you
don't know where the post may go beyond the group you're reading.

I have posted OT, but no more than many of the regulars, yourself
included.

Am I "innocent" in areas of profanity, cross posting, using anonymous
remailers, spoofing the ID of others, initiating threads simply as a
vehicle to make personal attacks, posting obscene cartoons or photos
purported to be of other NG participants? Of deliberately disrupting
things and demanding that everybody else conform to my personal view of
what the NG should be?
Far, far more innocent than some- and certainly as innocent as most.
