Chuck,

Personally, I don't really care about the dots. Like it's been said,
everyone has the right to post what they want *including* changing the
subject line, since we're unmoderated. If someone takes issue with the dot,
then CHANGE IT BACK if you feel the need to reply.

There's no need to lambast *anyone* who changes the subject line (including
dots). However, this a boating newsgroup, and I for one, applaude your
efforts to, "tidy up the trash." I don't care what anyone's political views
are here, nor do I care to hear about them in a BOATING NEWSGROUP.

Sure, sometimes it's relevant. If GWB decided to tax every single vessel
based on hours used, then there'd be some politics here. Otherwise, why
can't we just stick to boating?

Hell, I'm as guilty as anyone getting sucked into ****ing fights, but no
more. I come here for boating information, and nothing else. I do realize
that this time of year is a slow boating season for most, but posting crap
just for the sake of posting is absurd.

Remember, "sticks and stones." Just ignore any personal attacks, because
let's face it... it aint personal! Apart from very few, no one on usenet
really knows anyone else. No one knows who's being honest. No one knows
where you live. No one knows anything about you other than what you post
here. If someone doesn't really know you, it's hard to get personal. We'll
all be better off if we just turn our backs and ignore the crap.

Soap box off... flame away... I won't respond g
