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. :-)

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.

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.

Gould, this post of yours says a lot. Do you know why?

During the great debate about Harry's Zimmerman-like Lobsta' boat many
questioned it's existence.
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.

Here in IL. it's getting cold, however mine is still waiting for that
one or two good blasts of "Indian summer" so i can get a couple good

I believe that it was the Parker's purchase order that Harry sent to
Chuck for Chuck to confirm that Harry had actually purchased a boat with
the stipulation that Harry's name, address and purchase price not be
revealed. I do not believe that Harry has ever sent anyone information
regarding the 36' Zimmerman like lobsta' boat.

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 think it's perfectly natural for people with a common interest to get off

I've learned from being involved in some of these "debates".

I believe that it was the Parker's purchase order that Harry sent to
Chuck for Chuck to confirm that Harry had actually purchased a

boat with
the stipulation that Harry's name, address and purchase price not be
revealed. I do not believe that Harry has ever sent anyone

information
regarding the 36' Zimmerman like lobsta' boat.




Well, then aren't I the horse's ass?
My apologies to Gould.
I thought it was the Lobsta' boat.

No, you are not a horse's ass, but the Lobster Boat has and will always
be a deep dark secret.


Let's just call it a lie and leave it at that.

Well, Chuck does have a point about the OT stuff - it does get to be a
little, well, off-puting I guess is a good way to describe it.

On the other hand, the world is still spinning, the sun came up this
morning and life is still worth living.
I think it's perfectly natural for people with a common interest to get
off
track once in a while, particularly when the issue is an emotionally
charged, important item like the election next week. Name calling is
not
necessary, but the events of the world today are important to all of
us.
I've learned from being involved in some of these "debates".

Correctomundo.

When it devolves into trying to score points based on faith, party or
person then the issues aren't as important as being able to put a
"snap" on who ever decides to take up the cause.

That's when it becomes uninteresting and silly.

If it's any consolation .... rec.boats isn't the only NG that is
currently
fired up with political posts. 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.

What I think is funny is the fact that Harry has been totally silent
about the ficticious lobsta boat he "owned".



Is this what you were hoping for Chuck?

You got your wish.

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. :-)




Gould, this post of yours says a lot. Do you know why?

During the great debate about Harry's Zimmerman-like Lobsta' boat many
questioned it's existence.
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.

Maybe more worthwhile. But my daughters may argue that.

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.

Funny you should mention that. 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.
