It's all political BS. A good reason to read other boating groups if
you are interested in boats.

I looked through 50 posts here. I skipped over the lawnmower outboard
discussion since I've seen it and contributed to it in previous
discussions, I'm not interested in old sails, and I know enough about
internet security already for my purposes. Oh... I guessed the "dog"
discussion was not about boats, so I skipped that one, too.

No offense, but if you want a "boating discussion group," it would help
to have some interesting boating related posts, eh?


Harry,

Are you lobbying for OT posts?

Who wouldn't expect the traffic here to slow down if/when OT posts are
eliminated? For those of us who tune in to read boating posts, there is
no disappointment when the crap is gone. It actually saves a lot of
time wading through the BS that should be here.

Some of the best groups I read are small and on-topic. If you post a
question you don't have to sort through 100+ OT posts to get your answer.

Is your last comment some sort of way to condone the inclusion of
political and other OT posts just for the sake of adding something to
read? There are many other groups for many other topics.
