As can be seen from the team page:

the goal is still quite a ways away. Making a small donation is *much*
better than bickering in the newsgroup!

My offer to match ends in one week. Sock it to me!

And this relates to boating how?

This is an admirable quest on your part and I applaud your dedication
to this cause - I share your enthusiasm as I have two charities that I
am very involved with. It is a good thing you are doing this.

I still have to wonder if this is appropriate for a boating newsgroup?

Not that I care - I'm just trying to define the ground rules for the
various participants so we know what is acceptable and what isn't.

Don't get carried away - I'm on your side on this remember.

Post away - you have my complete support.

I would donate, but I already have supported two friends of Mrs. Wave
and one of my oldest - there is only so much to go around. And I'll
be honest with you - the fact that you will match contributions is a
wonderful and very admirable thing to do - I have nothing but respect
for your efforts.

It was only an illustration of my take on the whole what is and isn't
appropriate and to tell the truth, my annoyance over Chuck's apparent
inability to see anything other than his own truth.

That's it and I'll shut up about it now.

To any reasonable person this post would be more acceptable than
many/most others. We have people who post about their operating
systems, cameras, and even their desk chairs. I'll skip the obvious
off-topic political posts.

It's great to see that you donate to charities close to your heart.
Just for grins, why not drop $10.00 or $20.00 so John has to match it?
I donate to the same charity every year but I would rather spend a few
dollars here to see if John can keep up with it.

Good point.

Our daughter is running in the 5/17/07 event in Columbus and we are
sponsoring her team, as we always do. We donated to John's daughter's cause
over and beyond that, modest as it may be, last year and this year. In the
end it is a worthy cause to donate to.

The other ones we contribute to without question are the Salvation Army and
our Church.

Whether or not requests for charitable contributions are acceptable to post
in a boating NG are acceptable is not my call. I brought it up last year
and was blasted for do so.

So...................it is your call. But do consider donating to the
cause.

Whine, whine, whine. You hang up a politically oriented cut 'n paste
and then moan how your free speech is infringed upon. Here's a flash,
Tom- you've got to say something to be speaking- not just dredging up
some crap that you hope will serve your admitted purpose; fostering
"chaos" in the newsgroup.

Sorry to see you're so spun out of control by my calling your troll a
troll.
If I disliked you at all, I'd think it was pretty darn funny. As it
is, it's merely sad.

You need to toughen up a bit if you want to troll around here. Just
like nobody can stop you from posting cut and pasted political crap,
nobody can stop me from expressing an opinion about your behavior when
you do. If my comments offend you and upset you so much that you need
to address them in every unrelated thread you participate in then you
don't have what it takes to be a successful troll.

If in your version of "free speech" you should be able to post
political propaganda to a boating newsgroup with the expectation that
nobody will make a negative comment about the behavior, I'm shocked
that your permissive atitude doesn't also allow you to accept freely
spoken negative comments in response. Why should you have a right to
set a standard for my behavior any more than I have a right to set a
standard for yours? Post a political cut 'n paste everyday if you
want- there's no way anybody can stop you if you lack the common
courtesy and self control to stop yourself. Just don't expect others
to forego their rights to comment in response. If you don't like some
of the comments, tough schlitz- it's the risk you run when you decide
to post under any of your several screen names here.

It was a guesstimate. I'm pretty good at guesstimating the number of
words in a paragraph. Been doing it for 40 years.

How do I know it was whining B.S.? Easy. It was one of Chuck's
overwrought, overwritten tomes posted in response to one of his
netcopping tirades. Whenever Chuck plays netcop, he's overwrought and
whining, and his posts are too long.

Not to worry, Chuck. I usually do not read more than a couple of words
of your netcopping posts, and rarely more than a couple of sentences of
your pimping for boat manufacturers' purple prose posts.

Harry,
You need to learn how to filter by IP, my IP has never changed, it
really would make your life easier. You really should also filter
Chuck, then you wouldn't have any reason to visit rec.boats.

Was he responding to something I posted? I would not doubt it was some sort
of smart ass smarmy comment.

It was a guesstimate. I'm pretty good at guesstimating the number of
words in a paragraph. Been doing it for 40 years.

How do I know it was whining B.S.? Easy. It was one of Chuck's
overwrought, overwritten tomes posted in response to one of his
netcopping tirades. Whenever Chuck plays netcop, he's overwrought and
whining, and his posts are too long.

Are you good at judging BS cause you've been doing it for 40 years?

Noted and answered.
Don't get carried away - I'm on your side on this remember.

Post away - you have my complete support.

I would donate, but I already have supported two friends of Mrs. Wave
and one of my oldest - there is only so much to go around. And I'll
be honest with you - the fact that you will match contributions is a
wonderful and very admirable thing to do - I have nothing but respect
for your efforts.

It was only an illustration of my take on the whole what is and isn't
appropriate and to tell the truth, my annoyance over Chuck's apparent
inability to see anything other than his own truth.

That's it and I'll shut up about it now.

Capice? :)
To any reasonable person this post would be more acceptable than
many/most others. We have people who post about their operating
systems, cameras, and even their desk chairs. I'll skip the obvious
off-topic political posts.

It's great to see that you donate to charities close to your heart. Just
for grins, why not drop $10.00 or $20.00 so John has to match it? I
donate to the same charity every year but I would rather spend a few
dollars here to see if John can keep up with it.

Good point.

Our daughter is running in the 5/17/07 event in Columbus and we are
sponsoring her team, as we always do. We donated to John's daughter's
cause over and beyond that, modest as it may be, last year and this year.
In the end it is a worthy cause to donate to.

The other ones we contribute to without question are the Salvation Army
and our Church.

Whether or not requests for charitable contributions are acceptable to
post in a boating NG are acceptable is not my call. I brought it up last
year and was blasted for do so.

So...................it is your call. But do consider donating to the
cause.
I donated to John's daughters team. Post a like for yours.


Your suggestion is appreciated but this is not the proper forum to request
charitable donations Dan. Thanks anyway.

Your donations to John's daughters cause is certainly
impressive..............nice work!



JimH,
I would like to contribute to your daughters site also, go ahead and
post a link. After all, you have been doing this for years, and it is
always nice to be able to contribute to a worthy cause.

It's quite surprising that JimH is suddenly worried about what is proper to
post here!

JimH,
Why don't you show Harry how to set up his filters properly, he seems to
be having trouble setting it up.

I dunno. I saw that a "Smitherscrap" post snuck through the filter, so I
just added the particulars to that filter. I don't read his crap.

Chuck,

You often post pertinent and informative info here.
The problem for me, and for others I suspect, is that it is buried in 500 or
more
words of prose that quickly bores me to tears.

This is not a magazine article, it's a newsgroup.

Get to the point and forget the fluff.

Then don't read them, Krause.

Oh, wait----- your entire purpose for participating in this group is
to make nasty personal remarks in response to various people. I guess
if you filtered everybody you rail against here you'd have nothing to
do. :-)

Not to worry, Chuck. I usually do not read more than a couple of words
of your netcopping posts, and rarely more than a couple of sentences of
your pimping for boat manufacturers' purple prose posts.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

So your scathing commentaries are based on reading either a "couple of
words" or a "couple of sentences"? I'm not surprised. Once again, you
don't really know what you're going on and on about. It's true that I
don't write incredibly well, and have never claimed that I do. But if
you hope to have your criticisms respected you shouldn't admit to
firing off your negative stink bombs without actually reading the
material upon which you're remarking.

Of course you won't reply to this, you'll stop reading after "So
your." :-)

Not to worry, Chuck. I've been editing copy for a long time. I can tell
after reading a sentence or three whether what follows is going to be
wheat or chaff. Most of your posts are chaff.
