Well, I'm not going to totally disagree with you. But actually there
are several people here that do have quite a bit of boating knowledge.
True, there's lots of BS that seems to liquidly flow though ehre on a
daily basis. But I'm not speaking for all, but I would say that for a
great many people that hang around here, this is off boat posting
season. Mine will be tucked away for at least another couple months
so... I'm not going boating for a while yet. Then I'll be posting more
boating questions and experiences.

It does seem that year around, rec.boats.cuising does have less
blather and more boating posts IMO.

The newsgroup is filled with boatless posters, or posters with boats who
have little or no interest in boating or fishing, or posters who know
next to nothing about boating, but are opinionated nonetheless.

The problems are exacerbated by the large number of "anonymous" posters
infecting the newsgroup.

When usenet "outlaws" anonymous posting, usenet will once again become

So what about so called non-anonymous posters (like yourself) whos

There are posters here who know my name, address and telephone number,
several with whom I have have exchanged checks amounting to several
hundreds of dollars or more, and several I have met personally.

My preferred "correction" for usenet would be for every post to have
listed in his/her headers his/her actual name and actual IP. That would
not prevent or interfere with the use of nicknames in here, but at the
same time would improve behavior and virtually eliminate the anonyous
posters who show up here only or mostly to crap.

I used to be opposed to moderated newsgroups. Not any more.

Harry,
If you real name is Harry Krause, it has done nothing to deter you from
posting crap. Just today, you were talking about picking one idiot so you
can make him look foolish.

If you ask anyone in the NG, it would be universally agreed, you are the
biggest problem in rec.boats.

In most cases, the average Joe Blow has a dynamic IP that changes
frequently.

In my case, if I use Steve Gibson's (grc.com) reverse DNS it reports
an Embarq machine as my IP address. Nothing could be further from
the truth.

If you'd like to test yours, you can go he

https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2



My IP doesn't change often, and when it does, it usually is after the
internet provider loses signal and the local pool is reassigned. There
are ways to hide an IP or go through a server that provides another
number, of course, but I don't bother. What for? I'm not posting here
anonymously.

Why are you posting through two news servers?


Nothing nefarious, but I feel no compunction to explain it to the likes
of you. So...I do because I can. And so can anyone else.

You just KNOW that statement made Harry's head swell another hat size.

And if he behaved the same way in a moderated group they would toss
his butt in a New York minute.

Even if its available, how does the average Joe Blow ID someone by their IP.
That even assumes they do not go through an anonymizer?

I believe without the cooperation of the senders ISP there is no way you can
ID any Usenet participant.

So, anonymity reigns.

Harry,
You don't post here anonymously because the time you tried you got
caught. It was funny to watch you have a conversation with yourself
about someone who saw you on the bay in your Lobster Boat, until someone
noticed that both you and your sock puppet had the same IP address.

I on the other hand have always been me, and I have never tried to fool
anyone otherwise. I have a static IP so it is easy to verify who I am.

The problem is not Krause. The problem is with members acting like 12 year

Stop the personal attacks and the NG will be fine.

We both can learn a lesson from that..........perhaps you more than me. Eh

Harry is like a festering sore. If you leave it alone it will go away.
Putting it another way, he is the catalyst for most of the bile that gets
thrown around the newsgroup. Some folks think he's cool. Some don't. My
advice is to those that don't. Advice follows:

I agree, Harry calls people names like a little kid would, and lies
like one, too.

You and Harry are the prime offenders of that!
