It is for some of us, but there are others who are only here to attack
other posters or their boating choices. There are, sadly, far better
discussion spots than this one. This joint has deteriorated into a place
to discuss NASCAR, lousy guitar playing, homebrew beer recipes, and who
said what to who and when. It's a dying newsgroup.

The operator there knows boats, and most of the people posting there do,
too.
