Maybe it is all the short people that are humor challenged. And you are

Probably - but I'm better looking, smarter and just a much more
worthwhile person. :)

I used to be taller than I am now. I also am losing my sense of humor and
am not anywhere near as worthwhile as I used to be. Just ask Mrs.E.

Funny you should mention that. I'm actually almost a inch and a half
shorter than I was at age 20.

I have never lost my sense of humor, but sadly, Mrs. Wave has less
tolerance for the shenanigans than she used to be - she keeps telling
me I'm not 25 anymore. :)

Women - can't live with them, can't live without them.

At that rate of height loss, it'll be several hundred years before you're
nothing.

Chuck is ****ed at me because I am annoyed at his petty netcopping here.
The netcoppers remind me of grammar school recess monitors, the ones
everyone wanted to beat the crap out of and sometimes did. Only the
prissy sissies liked the monitors.

How does an offer to write up your boat result in, "Chuck is ****ed at

What? Why would I want or need Mr. Advertorial to do a "write-up" for
me? If I wanted a "write-up," I'd write it myself. Without the purple
prose.



That came nowhere close to answering my question.

It wasn't his offer to to a "write-up" that bothered me . It was his
out-of-the blue admonishment that Harry "come clean" because it's "good for
the soul" in a lecture style. Who cares?

Harry cares.

Harry has been cowed lately, the question is why. Typically at this time
of year Harry is spouting off about how bad the Republicans are going to
loose and what the Democrats are going to do once they get back in
control of Congress or the White House.

Why is Harry silent on the political front?

I don't post that much here anymore. There's only a couple of people
left here, you among them, that I like and find interesting. The netcops
have turned this newsgroup into a pile of steaming dung, suitable mostly
for their overwrought and uncritical advertorials.

Meaning that you have been shown to be a biased lying fool whose sole

Last we heard, the YoHo was being offered for sale. Assuming you found

paddle boats (IIRC). Maybe you're posting less because you're fairly
well out of boating these days? Should the NG emphasis ever shift back
to personal attack, overwrought and uncritical political cut 'n paste,
and unsubstantiated claims of personal wealth, prestige, and
accomplishment- the crowd that such a change might generate will
probably bring in a few people you will like and find interesting. So
hang in there, Harry- there's hope for a return to the nasty old days
you so enjoyed here and an accelerating trend among the majority to go
there.

Meanwhile, as long as you have introduced the thought that we should be

I've been busy lately, Bertbrain. Radio commercials, television
commercials. PAC money is out there for the getting. Hell, I had a
lovely TV spot running statewide in Virginia last week and on CNN for
the Virginia/DC/Maryland audiences.

Love it.

Wow! Which one, Harry?

Rec.boats is an unusual newsgroup. It is one of the oldest newsgroups on
Usenet (along with alt.sailing.asa) and is unique in the respect that it has
no charter. It's more of a free for all. One of it's best attributes in the
past has been humor and although I don't always agree with Harry on some
subjects, I've always found a light side in many of his posts.

Personally, I enjoy the boating topics but, as I've got to know some of the
virtual personalities of some of the participants, I've also enjoyed many of
the off topic discussions and debates. Everything can be done to an excess
of course and when it does it becomes obvious. Filters work well if some
topics or those that indulge in personal attacks get to be too much for
anyone.

Point is ... your constant scolding, lectures and passing of judgment about
how *you* think others should behave are just as annoying as an over done
political post IMO. Some people here are masters at purposely raising the
ire of others (trolls) and frankly, I consider you one of them at times when
you do this.

Prove me wrong and chill out. Post what you want and expect both praise and
criticism. Stop worrying about everybody else and their behavior and
methods. We can deal with it ourselves.

"Poorly written purple prose advertorials." Several dozen a week. Very

Thanks for the friendly advice.

My state of mind is fine. Looks like it's "Gould's an asshole" season
around here the last few days. No big deal, just my turn in the barrel.
Let's let everybody pile on and get their nickel's worth, then it's
back to normal. Funny how suddenly everybody is accusing me of wrecking
the newsgroup. Oh well. I get accused of all sort of stuff, and some of
it is even true sometimes. :-)

Yup, $0.25 plus tax here. But, as the coffee tastes like crap, it gets
thrown out and the money was wasted anyway.

Poor Chuck. He's become his own protest.

If you are a senior at Micky D's, the cost is $0.27 to $0.54


Yup, $0.25 plus tax here. But, as the coffee tastes like crap, it gets
thrown out and the money was wasted anyway.

Their new stuff, bolder, tastes like stronger crap.

7-11 coffee makes me pee, McD's coffee doesn't.

hang in there, Harry- there's hope for a return to the nasty old days
you so enjoyed here and an accelerating trend among the majority to go

Wait! I know just where to turn to find it: rec.boast


Rec.boats is an unusual newsgroup. It is one of the oldest newsgroups on
Usenet (along with alt.sailing.asa) and is unique in the respect that it has
no charter. It's more of a free for all. One of it's best attributes in the
past has been humor and although I don't always agree with Harry on some
subjects, I've always found a light side in many of his posts.

Personally, I enjoy the boating topics but, as I've got to know some of the
virtual personalities of some of the participants, I've also enjoyed many of
the off topic discussions and debates. Everything can be done to an excess
of course and when it does it becomes obvious. Filters work well if some
topics or those that indulge in personal attacks get to be too much for
anyone.

Point is ... your constant scolding, lectures and passing of judgment about
how *you* think others should behave are just as annoying as an over done
political post IMO. Some people here are masters at purposely raising the
ire of others (trolls) and frankly, I consider you one of them at times when
you do this.

Prove me wrong and chill out. Post what you want and expect both praise and
criticism. Stop worrying about everybody else and their behavior and
methods. We can deal with it ourselves.

Let me see if I follow all of your points he

It's a very good thing for the boating newsgroup to function as a chat
room for the "virtual personalities" and you enjoy all of the OT
discussions. Politically hot spuds are fine, at least for the first
couple of exchanges before the personal remarks and name calling begin
in earnest.

In fact, you think posting just about anything here is OK and that
everybody should be able to express an opinion, (as long as that
opinion doesn't pertain to whether or not the OT political stuff and
personal conversations are an asset to the newsgroup).

You conclude your several paragraphs of personal preferences and
opinions about what you think it is appropriate for me to post with an
appeal to me to keep my personal preferences and opinions to myself.

Did I miss anything important?

I'm no more or less an asshole than I ever was. When people disagree

opinion), a "horse's ass" or what not. Most of the participants here
can't separate opinion from personality, and that's probably
understandable. After all, few of us have ever met and we wouldn't
recognize one another on the street. Those who are eager to judge one
another have very little except opinion to work with. To nobody's
surprise, each of us considers the "better" people to be those who
agree with us most often.

Maybe it is time for you to post another glowing advertorial of a
Bayliner product to pay off that company for advertising in your boating
magazine?


I can't imagine why you'd care one way or the other. I've copied
articles on a few US Marine products, maybe a half dozen in the last 3
years, into the NG and every time I have done so 2-3 people (typically
you and Karen of Oz when it's offseason down under) give me grief about
it and 2-3 people say "keep it up." Surely you don't think that the
handful of people hanging out in rec.boats, of whom a significant
portion are not active boaters, represent any commercial value to
anybody. The only "payoff" for advertising in the publication I'm
associated with is the response to the ads that appear there.

There's no possible way that my random comments and opinions about the
value of keeping the NG on topic could upset you and Eisboch and a few
others so badly. Has to be something else at work here. (Conscience?)

Anyway, I thank you for expressing your opinion. As you and others have
pointed out rather indignantly, exchange of opinion is what the NG is
supposed to be about. If some of us want to consider others to be
"assholes" based upon the nature or character of the opinions
expressed, I guess that comes with the territory.

COFFEE THREAD!!!!!

Ok, so what do you consider a good cup of mass produced and marketed
coffee?

By the way, one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had was at Bien
Hoa AFB in Bien Hoa, SVN. We were there supporting the APE battalion
during the first Tet Offensive and while assembling in a hanger, I
grabbed a cup from a AF Master Sgt who was handing them out.

Took a sip, said "damn Sarge, that's good".

He says - "We clean the pots on a regular basis - with diesel fuel".

I didn't drink anymore of it, but what I did drink was pretty damn
good. :)

The Special Forces guys at Bien Hoa had pretty good coffee also. They put
on a fine breakfast in that club of theirs.

I'm not a coffee aficionado. I've enjoyed any of the bolder Starbucks
varieties, but I'd never go pay $20 a pound or more for coffee.

Harry, you have always impressed me as being a reasonably articulate
guy and a good communicator. Why do you have such a difficult time
expressing a difference of opinion without stooping to name calling,
character assassination, mud slinging, etc. In my opinion it reflects
poorly on you and takes away from the credibility of your discussion.

It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.

Just my 2 cents worth.
