Boats are in your life 24x7. Most of us have more varied interests.

Then wouldn't it be appropriate to participate in a variety of
newsgroups, rather than impose your personal interests on a group
gathered for another, specific purpose? Anybody ever experiment with
posting boating related items to the photography newsgroup? How did
that go? How about the TCM discussion group- are boating items well
received over there?
Maybe a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of various
docklines would be
useful in either the Bush.is.a.blithering.idiot group or the
Liberals.and.democrats.should.all.be.taken.out.and .lynched forum.

I find your 2,000 word advertisements here far more objectionable than a
discussion about war movies on Veterans Day.

What does a "war movie" have to do with Veterans' Day? I've never been
in a war, (and as far as I know neither have you), but I'd be willing
to bet a pretty pile that the actual experience is a lot different than
the stuff you see on a movie screen. The more appropriate question;
what does a war movie have to do with recreational boating?


The OT threads you object to usually turn south only after you and your
deputies ride to enforce *your* laws.

Nobody can enforce anything, Jim. You are free to post your political
opinions here, just as I am free to comment on whether or not I think
they are appropriate for a boating newsgroup.
You irritate me with your political cut 'n pastes and personal attack
threads trolled through a boating newsgroup, and I irritate you by
making boating related posts to the same forum. Looks like one of us
has a screwed up agenda. Somehow, I suspect that referring to the title
of the NG might provide some insight regarding who might be confused
here- but again that would only be my opinion and you're free to
disagree and post whatever you want.
