Feeding the trolls, you don't learn it seems
 
Folks,

Been lurking, even posted a time or 2 and it seems that no one really likes
the political posts and you guys keep responding to them. All this does is
let them know your reading their tripe and eggs them on. As with any other
group, DON'T FEED THE TROLLS, and they will go away or stop posting
eventually. I have been "PLONKING" these people for a few days now to try
and get it down to just "rec.boats" postings and you guys keep posting back
to them and ruining my "PLONKING" purpose. It seems simple enough, PLONK
and move on. This is just my .02 cents that makes perfect "cents" to me.

Doug

I agree, you have to be a Moron not to understand how to properly use
Newsgroups, these people posting OT are pretty much Morons.

Glenn---- Thinks these Morons need to move to Alt.Politics and leave us
boaters alone.

Its hopeless Doug. For some reason this group has attracted more than its
fair share of profoundly stupid people.

Just continue to kill file them as I have, and you will soon end up enjoying
the group again.

Good luck.
