What Harry means is you should not respond to anyone he doesn't want you to
respond to. If everyone in here would just listen to Harry and do what
Harry wants, rec.boats would be a much better place.

You and I seem to agree on the definition of 'facilitate'. What am I doing that
makes it easier for you, et al, to post here. Is whatever I'm doing able to
discriminate, or does it facilitate *everyone's* posting?

If I'm able to facilitate some posts, could I also hinder other posts?

JohnH,
I wish you would stop facilitating Harry's posts and get to work on
hindering him. ; )

John between you and me, I think Harry has gone off the deep end.

In sum, you facilitate by encouraging the perpetrators of the behavior
under discussion.

Do I render the behavior easier? Do I lessen the labor of these posters? Or, do
I do something physiological to them? (I'm not going very far in that
direction!)

Would Metamucil be something that meets definition number three?

Do you not think that your constant derogatory comments 'facilitate' responses?

JohnH,
It is funny that Harry has followed everyone of your posts with a snide
comment, but that is ok. NPD is a terrible thing.
