I am sure anyone who reads this thread in the middle is wondering how a
request for a Marina recommendation results in silly name calling and a
boring flame war.



Perfectly natural occurrence in wrecked.boats.

You know, John is right, in so far as Skipper provides enough goofy OP
threads suitable for ridicule, without polluting threads he didn't
start as a troll.

"Brunswick and Other Legends", "Croakers, Grunts 'n Mackerel", "The
Real West", and "East Coast Fish Stocks Depleted" are great examples
of ridiculous trolling that deserves derision.... not so, other
threads that Skipper hasn't injected his peculiar peccadilloes
into....

Sorry I offended you Gene. I thought my post was funny and was not
disturbing to the thread in general.

But if you and John want to improve the NG how about focusing on Skipper,
the one who is actively trying to disrupt the group rather than on the one
joke I made that I thought would be appreciated.

Wearing a badge and trying to act tough to folks who actively contribute to
the NG and have it's interest at hand is not productive.


Jim do you remember how offended you became when JohnH asks an on topic
question in the middle of a post you started?

Can you imagine how frustrated Richard is when his serious request for
marina recommendations becomes nothing more than a long string of
"Giddy Up Sheriff" and "who are you to tell me I hijack a thread with
politics."

We need to get back to making non inflammatory posts or rec.boats will
revert to it's old ways very quickly.

I don't get frustrated. I've been here for a long, long time.

Some of it is funny as hell.

Foul-mouthed name calling is just plain dumb and is not needed, nor is
perpetual political posting.
But occasional OT posts and spirited "debates" are often interesting .... or
at least entertaining.

Maybe not in mold of original Usenet protocols, but that's my feeling.
Things change.

You may also want to consider this marina. I used to have my boat
slipped there. There is also some information concerning the area.

Ahem. Ah, which marina is that, Gene?

I once heard Dave Mann brag about the super facilities next to the
fishin'
pond at the 4H club in Derby, KS. You may want to touch base with
him. ;-)

Why turn this thread, which has been informative and interesting,
into a
personal attack zone?

JohnH,

I don't know if you noticed, but you have become JimH's new target for
flames. It used to be Harry and Chuck, it is now you.

I think Chuck's advice is best. Ignore those who are trolling for a
flame war.


Hold on...John has been riding herd on Jim a bit lately.
He should know that it's going to be tit for tat when he does so.

2) Second, but fairly unrelated topic, is the dreaded " --", which
most newsreaders see as "signature follows," and will delete anything
following. I see more and more posts that include the signature line
of the preceding poster.. that can get anything that *you* write
deleted in the followup to your post.

If your newsreader does not automatically delete anything below the "
--" it might be a good idea for you to do so...


I just learned about the -- space enter thing the other day - after all
these years. I still am not sure I understand the purpose. OE has
provision for a signature to be automatically inserted with two box options
of "Add signature to all outgoing messages" and "Don't add signatures to
replies and forwards". There is then a text box where you can compose one or
more signature lines. I am not sure how the "stripping" of signatures
takes place.

You might be correct, for the last few weeks, I have only been reading
about 10% of the posts, especially once they have are on their 2nd or
3rd tangent. The point Chuck's advice still is good advice. If JimH
thinks JohnH is trolling for a flame war, then he should ignore him.

Not sure how your reply would have appeared if you had not edited
anything, but (without any editing) your newsreader should have
automatically quoted everything in my post above the "-- " thing.

IOW, it should delete everything below the "--".



Ah! I'll have to try it. Thanks.

Gene,
I tried to change my sig so it conforms with industry standard. ;)

Did I succeed?

Thank you Don. That seems to be something some folks here forgot. I
am even receiving emails from the guy now about this thread.

If he would take his nose out of my butt would get along just fine. I
don't appreciate his constant netcopping of me, telling me what is and
what is not appropriate for me to post.

As I stated before, if my joke offended anyone I apologize.
