Don,
I don't start OT threads, and don't bring OT posts into on topic posts. In
the last few years we have seen many people leave, their absence has never
changed the tone of rec.boats. Let Harry take a week's vacation, and the
tone changes immediately. The problem today is even when Harry is on
vacation he posts to rec.boats 8 hrs. a day.

In the summer of 2000, everyone said it would get better after the
election, in the summer of 2004, some said it would get better after the
election. Now you say it will get better in 5 months.

As long as the most prolific poster, cut and pastes 10-20 headlines a
day, with the sole purpose of trolling for political fights, it will not
get any better, it will get worse.


Well...you could start things off by setting an example for others to
follow.
