Rec.boats still has Off topic discussion, some political in nature, but at one time the cut and paste news articles had turned rec.boats into 95% cut and paste and the "your an a**hole", "I know you are but what am I" responses. There was one person who would cut and paste 20-30 news article a day, and then would actually discourage discussion by encouraging others not to respond to the right wing excrement except to hurl insults. Well, that's a casualty of the infoweb. Usenet used to be a valuable resource for questions and information. You think this is bad, wander through some of the more political blogs and see what happens there. I've said it before and I'll say it again - most of the "flamers" here are amateurs and bad amateurs at that. No one can force or enforce a Newsgroup policy, but if the majority agree that the insults are a waste of time, the quantity of silly flame fest will decrease. I quite agree. Reggie, of course, has a well-deserved reputation as one of the biggest flamers ever here, along with his reputation of posting here under about 50 different identities. There's nothing quite like his sort of self-righteous a**hole. Another neat reply from Harry. Did you notice, Don? -- ***** Have a decent day! ***** John H |
