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.

North Carolina Online Tide Charts with Moon Phase
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 "Chuck Gould" wrote in message oups.com... Capt.

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. :-) |

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. |

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. --Vic |

Just about all of the popular ones are, regardless of the official NG topic. I tried telling Chuck that two/three weeks ago when he went off on one of his crusades, but it didn't sink in I guess. It's infected everything and it's really up to the participants to pick and choose that which interests them. Indeed. I read most of your posts, because even when you are snotty, I know it is in jest, and is part of your acerbic personality. Acerbic? Me? I have some film critic friends who would find that highly amusing. Not to mention that them 'thar's fightin' words... :) ~~ cough ~~ I much prefer - well, weird. :) I've referenced this before - there are a few folk here who don't take themselves seriously - I'm one of them. I also can prove, without being "snarky" that this newsgroup is completely devoid - call it a wasteland if you will - of humor. If you can't laugh at yourself for being a buffoon - or like Calif Bill says - weird, then what's the point? We're all pompous dorks at one time or another. When we don't recognize that, or take it as an article of faith that we cannot have the moral/intellectual high ground all the time, then we are purely here for the argument and not the discussions. Or it is a result of your being shorter than the other guys in your group. At 6'3", not likely. :) Maybe it is all the short people that are humor challenged. And you are shorter than me, shortie. |

If fact, if I recall correctly some wagers were proposed by some pertaining to him proving it's existence. At some point Harry supposedly sent you some documentation that either proved or disproved it's existence. He selected you to receive this information based on his feeling that you could be trusted and would keep the information confidential, only to be revealed on his say so. So, are you now on the verge of not honoring that trust? Or threatening to do so? Hope not. Eisboch Your memory is faulty. The paperwork Harry sent my verified that he bought his Parker, the YoHo. I never saw any evidence that he owned his lobster boat. If you will recall, when Harry bought his Parker a group of posters, led by Karen of Oz, all claimed he was lying about buying a boat. Take a look back in the archives if you would care to. You're just plain wrong. Sorry. I guess I should have read your post before I made mine. I didn't recall the sending of any Parker paperwork after I'd verified his ownership. I do recall Karen not believing me either. BS. You just wanted to stir the crap John and you know it. |

Harry never sent Chuck or anyone else any info concerning the Lobster Boat. I don't recall Harry sending any info on the Parker to anyone. I verified his ownership of the Parker by talking to the guy who sold it to him. He also kept it in the same marina I was using. Stir the pot John...stir the pot. |

I'm actually almost a inch and a half shorter than I was at age 20. My Navy records indicate I was exactly 72 inches (at 19-20 years). I don't know what I am right now, but I know I am shorter. Either that or it's an optical illusion. Eisboch |
