Why is Harry silent on the political front?

Because there's really no one to talk to?

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.

Last we heard, the YoHo was being offered for sale. Assuming you found
a buyer, that leaves you with "half a canoe" and some other assorted
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
critical of the quality of posts to the NG, I'm still looking for some
evidence that your lobster boat exists outside of your imagination.
Wait! I know just where to turn to find it: rec.boast


Chuck, before you say another word; think about your recent outbursts and
ask yourself " what must the fine people of rec. boats be thinking about
Chuck Gould's state of mind?" Do yourself, and us, a favor and take a break
from rec.boats for a while.
Your friend,
Jim

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. :-)
