Well, here it is everyone. Sunday morning April 4th. The day has finally come
to move on for good. I will no longer be part of "rec.boats" (or
"wrecked.boats" as I always liked to jokingly call it).

I have found a few other newsgroup forums to my liking and did some research on
a variety of forums only to learn that the general feeling towards "rec.boats"
is that it is ruined and people no longer want to post here, or have left in a
huff (kind of like what I am doing now).

The following thread (verbal enchange beween Harry Krause and myself) has
finally made me see the light and decide to move on.

What? Back again? Thought you left...at least five times already.

Why does it bother you that Butch has helped a fellow NG member and not
posted OT? Because you are slowly and surely losing your control of this
NG?

Me thinks so. LOL!!!!


I think so too... It's a free country and people can visit any NG they want.

I only come back here randomly. The other places are way better, more
informative, and they have a separate OT area.

I did some research and found that the general consensus regarding
"rec.boats"
is that it is ruined and beyond repair. It's really sad.... There were a
lot
of good people on here over the years, and they have left.

Well, there are plenty of returning whiners like you, Butch.

Nice insult! Has it ever occurred to you that **YOU** are the one responsible
for ruining this NG? You old cantankerous, bitter old man!!!!! Don't get me
started, because I have always believed "if you don't have anything nice to
say, don't say anything at all". BUT...... in your case, I am so tempted to
unload on you with both barrels. But, I won't stoop that low.

Have a nice day.

It has been fun being part of "rec.boats" since 1999, but it is time to finally
move on for good. You know my email address, you know how to reach me. I
never had reason to hide anything. I'm in the book, look me up sometime, and
we'll go boating or fishing sometime. Take care!!!
