......exactly what do all the political OT posts here (or anywhere in
cyberspace) accomplish?

Is anyone's opinion changed?

Are the folks in these debate *movers and shakers* who can really impact
world or national affairs?

Is a positive contribution to national or world affairs made as a result of
these debates?

Nope on all counts.

While I have been a major player in these discussions in the past I have now
called it quits for the most part....you can say I have seen the light (and
it ain't pretty). ;-)

So why continue with this garbage folks? Exactly what is the *purpose* of
these political debates?

An inquiring mind wants to know. ;-)

I've found that almost everyone here agrees with you and me now. They may not
admit it, but that's the way they truly feel. If Bush were running again, Harry
would vote for him because of the arguments he's lost.

Renamed OT per NOYB's mandate. ;-)

Please put "OT" in front of your off-topic posts from now on. Thanks.

BTW: This is the second time in a week that you have made mention of that
fact when I post about obsessive OT posts in this boating NG. You are
obviously concerned about the topic of OT posting in this NG, perhaps based
on your excessive number of OT posts.

I understand completely.

Considering your request and comment, and in the best interest of this NG, I
have renamed the subject of this thread as being OT.

I trust you are now happy. ;-)

Carry on NOYB. ;-)

I seldom *start* OT posts. But I contribute to them plenty.

In fact, I'd bet that you start more OT posts than me...but it's hard to
keep track of because you fail to put "OT" in front of your OT posts.

;-p

Well, I would rather that some unstable person blow his steam off on the
internet than with a gun in some crowd... so if anything, it does that
