Good, go away, then, and take your top posting attitude with you.

Yeah, that's the silliest part of his reactionary posturing. A Democrat
votes for mostly Democratic Party candidates at every level. A
Republican votes for only Republican candidates at every level. In the
last eight years, one wonders how many Democrats Bill has voted for...
My guess is he's voted straight GOP.

Sounds like a bunch of goose-stepping Liberal Lemmings heading for the
cliff. ; )

This is a top post.

I've only been here for about 3 months, but I can't help but comment on all the
"political" threads in this newsgroup. This is REC.BOATS. Post your political
opinions in alt.politics, or in one of the other 500 political newsgroups.
It's bad enough it gets posted here, but to reply only makes it worse.


You might as well set automatic filters to remove those few people that
incessantly post off topic. Filter out the "OT" posts and about a dozen people
and this *is* a boating newsgroup. If you have been around long enough, you
will have noticed that 95% of the OT posters don't even own a boat, so there is
nothing *on* topic going on in their lives to post.... thus all of the way-out
political blather.


I do the exact opposite. I rarely read rec.boats - I just occasionally POST
(boating-related) messages here. Sometimes I read the replies to my posts. If I
have nothing to post, I don't read rec.boats.

Help us neophytes out please Lloyd - How do you set a filter for a
Google user group? How do I filter "OTs", anything with "Bush" in the
title, or anything from an individual, say "Harry Krause" for example?

I'm one of those lurkers that just happens to love boating and many things
related to boating... fishing, skiing, tubing, cruising, etc. I don't spend
time on big bodies of water, or any oceans (since I live in Wisconsin) but
we aren't called 'Lake Country' around here for nothing. I love having the
ability to trailer my boat to check out the many different bodies of water
around here. Anyway, that's my short intro. I'm just wondering if someone
has a filter that they could share that they have found works well enough to
not filter out a large part of the relevant content? Linux, Microsoft, etc.
Doesn't matter. I've got them all.

Thanks much!
