The purpose of the NG isn't to come up with astonishing content that
can't be found anywhere else in the world, it's to kick around ideas
(not personalities) for discussion.

If you took my reply personally that is your problem. I was only trying to
help you and the NG with other resources on how to locate "nautical words of
the day".

Don't take things so personally Chuck..............breath

Have a nice night Chuck!

I didn't, so I have no problem.

The nautical word item seems to generate quite a bit of on-topic
discussion, doesn't it? I'll bet that's pretty surprising to somebody
who wrote that the original nautical word posting was a "joke that
everybody else got except you."

Life is full of surprises. Some of them pleasant.

Chuck,
Now that we have those 3 links, we no longer need to discuss boating in
the NG.

That's a frequently recurring theme. The value of Google or other
search engines is to locate sources of often conflicting information.
The value of a NG, (IMO) is to create a place where people can discuss
and debate ideas that relate to the topic, share personal experiences,
etc. The NG would be a very frustrating format for anybody who felt
their only purpose was to extract an enormous amount of general
information, and I agree with JimH, Shortwave, and others that there's
no shortage of free information already circulating on nearly any
conceivable subject. Much of that free information is worth exactly
the selling price.

My personality has been kicked around enough already.
