C'mon Harry.

You can contribute something useful. You have the knowledge and the
communication skills.

Yes, the tone of the NG has changed. Hopefully for good. If your parody
indicates that you find the content boring or sophomoric then liven it
up, (with on-topic material presented in a civil manner).

Making fun of some of the content here isn't going to get everybody
back to arguing politics with you, (hopefully).

Rebuilding this NG is a process, not an event. With 99% of the
political bickering and name calling swept aside we will eventually
attract a greater number of boaters to the NG
and many of them will have useful comments, challenging questions, and
specific expertise to share. Give it a chance.

We've been like the residents of a trashed out shack that pile sewage
and garbage in the front yard and then complain that there isn't a
better class of people moving into the vacant houses on either side.

Every day we get beyond the "old" rec.boats the better our prospects
for permanent success. The group is proving that it can be done.

And I'm pleasantly surprised at what an amazing transformation it has
been. Congratulations to all concerned.

We're going boating for the weekend so I'll be offline for a few days.
Hopefully the truce will still be in effect when we get back.

Our oldest son (the law student) is here with his GF and they've
decided that they'd like to ring in the new year on the boat. It
didn't take too much arm twisting to talk me into it. We'll probably
head north up Pine Island Sound towards Cayo Costa Island. Cayo Costa
and North Captiva both have long, nearly deserted beaches directly on
the Gulf of Mexico. They're great places for shelling and beach
combing in general, lots of exotic birds, and beautiful turquoise
green tropical water. People have also been known to catch some nice
Redfish and Tarpon up that way but it's early in the season for that.
Temperature forecast for the weekend is around 80 degrees, should be
nice.

Happy New Year everyone, and good boating.

And here I'm wondering if it will be warm enough to go to a driving range!

Yeah, I went to the range today. Had to try out my new home-made 'woods'. Love 'em. I
should have walked 18, but had already set up a meeting at the driving range with my
'coach'.

You just *had* to rub it in. We got snow coming for New Years. Seriously,
have a great time and Happy New Year.

We have rain, cold rain in the 50's, and wind. Big surf.

Ah, let him be, Chuck. At least he has returned to the humor we enjoyed
years ago.
Personally, I could care less about name calling and such - some of it is
quite funny and entertaining, and afterall, it's only a NG. It was just the
ceaseless politics that got on my nerves. I think having a few good yuks is
consistent with the boating interest or lifestyle.
