Wrong group, Dave.

The majority here either do not own a boat, own a boat but almost never
use it, or use thier boat regularly but would rather talk politics,
etc.

Sadly enough, this will probably never be a boating newsgroup again.
The majority prefer chaos or a chatroom atmosphere. Great group to find
out what so-and-so ordered for dinner last night, or observe all the
Little Limbaughs and Mini Moores parroting their assigned talking
points. Looking for boating content here is like trying to watch an old
black and white TV with bent rabbit ears. All the fuzz, flipping, and
snow make it just about not even worth the effort.

Then there are the occasional spammers. Can we assume you have no
financial interest in any of the sites you refer to in your multiple
posts?

Chuck,
Thanks for the reply. I have been around since this was a real boating
group. For that matter when this was the only boating group on the
internet. It has been a LONG while....LOL! Financial interest? No, other
than I pay the bills. It belongs to my members and they let me code really
cool stuff for them. I just touched on the surface of the content at
http://www.FryingPanTower.Com .106,000 pages last I looked. All of it FREE.
No clubs, No memberships....nothing.

If you run Offshore, WaveCast and ReefCast are the BOMB! NOAA Forecasts and
NWS Forecasts are onsite to get the complete picture. Tide Charts to get
you in and out the inlets safely. SST, Clor A, Modis True Color and the
Coastal Relief Model to help you find the fish. A Photo Gallery to post
your photos in and friendly advice if you came up empty from REAL people
that FISH. A bunch of these folks fish for a living.....me included. So
Stop by and say "Howdy" sometime.

The posts in the Usenet are picked up and run on a ton of sites throughout
the internet. It brings some folks that otherwise would not find us. The
difference is I am not selling anything....just hooking folks up with one of
the best Offshore Fishing related sites around. I will have several more
posts as time allows.

Dave

You're sure doing your part, Chuck, to discourage discussion.

Speaking of financial interests, got another advertorial for us?

Not any time soon. I'm weary of being Don Quixote. Rec.boats will
always be circling the bowl- a lot of people prefer the daily exchange
of crap barbs to any discussion of a topic they find as boring as boats
or boating. Not going to push the rock uphill for at least a while.
May stick around, may not, don't know, don't care, and nobody else
cares either so it's of no consequence either way. But I won't be
launching OT threads, and I'll try to avoid getting sucked into those
launched by others. Just no more boating related threads from me,
either.
As you illustrate so clearly, the majority don't want the rec.boats
chatroom and political soapbox society cluttered up with boating talk.

Speaking of writing things:
Next time I'm back east I'll look you up and do a good report on your
lobster boat. Been a long time since you mentioned that here. You ever
going to come clean on that issue? It would be good for the soul. :-)

Thanks for proving us right Chuck.
You're just a fancy talkin' version of most of the regulars here and
just as willing as most of us to take cheap shots at fellow posters.

Oh Chuck, come on.

Most everyone, Harry included, has been being pretty good (except for a
couple who'll never quit). The Kerry thing rattled a lot of cages,
including yours and mine. By this time next week the election will be over,
except for all the challenges because folks can't read or are dead when
they vote.

The majority *don't* prefer chaos or political posts. The majority do seem
to prefer boating related posts or to engage in friendly chitchat about
mutual interests. As long as the chitchat doesn't devolve into vicious
flamefests, as do the political and religious posts (or any JSB/Doug post),
I see little wrong with it.

My boat, and probably most of those north of me, are up for the winter. Our
only boating post would be along the lines of: "Today I went to see if my
boat was still in storage. It was."

You'd be surprised how well a kill filter will reduce the number of garbage
posts.

What cheap shot? Hell, if he'd offer to do a write up of my boat, I think
it would be cool!

Well, Don Quixote never got tired of tilting at windmills. :)

Hey, I feel your pain in a sense. Based on some experiments I've done
over the past few weeks, it would appear that in one sense you are
right - there are some here whose very constitution demands that
confrontation and excess verbiage rule the day.

On the other hand, there have been some decent discussions about
boating issues - opinions explained and knowledge dispensed. It's not
quite as bleak as you would have it. and there has been some
interesting off-topic discussions not related to boating - one of
which you participated in.

It's your choice - continue to post your reviews and knowledge based
articles and ignore the nonsense, or take the long hike off the short
end of the pier. I'm not going to try and sway you one way or the
other.

For my part, I will continue to pick and choose what I do and don't
participate in. Trying to deny my own contradictory nature (I know,
no big surprise there) is pointless.

Besides, it can be most amusing to poke the ferrets once in a while
and watch the carnage. :)

That was all pretty sensible. You got me confused.

Just more of Chuck's "do as I say but not as I do".
