Poor Columbus.

It's good to see you have acquiesced to the culture here; you championed a
strict on-topic rule, but now you understand that most posters are not
here to discuss boating. It seems only a short time ago I was reading that
the forum was greatly improved, and that OT topics were now at a minimum;
would you now agree with that statement?


I dunno, if memory serves, the one thing Columbus was famous for was a boat
ride across the pond. Doesn't seem all that off topic to me.
