Most people with a decent head on their shoulders use "OT"... I'd recommend
filtering based on subject..... many folks who post political bandwidth
waste also are some of the most knowledgeable...

Here is my solution to all those non-rec.boats messages - I add the
individuals to my delete filter list and they no longer bother me. The
messages are few, but they do deal with rec.boats.
It's too bad that I am adding some who contribute to this group, but it's
the only way I can keep this group straight.

If some of you have a better idea, I would like to hear from you

You were probably too busy being a total asshole posting your foreign
(to most of us) politics here where it is not welcome.
You have the best politicians that money can buy - either live with it
or get elected and change it.

Clue No 1: rec.* is an international hierarchy. Local usian issues
belong elsewhere.
