It's Hard-Water season Chuck. It happens every year around this time.

Great theory, but it isn't supported by the evidence. The OT posts continue
year-round, mostly from a cadre of regulars who appear to live at this NG.
How much boating, or any other activity, can a person do while posting
dozens of posts every day? I would agree that Chuck is tilting with
windmills, but cold weather isn't the problem. I think a majority of the
regulars want a place where they can BS about any subject that comes to
mind, and sometimes that subject will be boats and many times it won't. It
also helps that there are no restrictions on what can be said, and no
repercussions for bad behavior. This NG obviously fills a need for many
regular posters.
