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

North Carolina Tide Charts with Moon Phase

Good Online Tide Charts are HARD to find.

Works from Cape Lookout, North Carolina to Little River, North Carolina.

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?
