Default I used to frequent here many years ago..what happened?

This newsgroup used to be very informative. There was a very nice lady
who knew everything about chemicals for your boat and some very
knowledgeable people all around. What happened?
I'm afraid to ask questions or make comments now!

Ask away. Peggy can probably be found on rec.boats.cruising.

Pay as little attention to the **** as possible. It's not directed toward
you by any means. There are a couple folks who would love to see the demise
of this group.

Based on what you read today I don't blame you for wondering if this
is a boating NG.

This NG started going downhill many months ago when it turned into
personal message board as well as a group to discuss guitars, NASCAR,
cooking and grandchildren.

Most real boaters got fed up and left for another place.

As I've said numerous times... Dingy Dan invited us back. Guess he was
lonely.
You guys should really pay more attention to him.

It was taken over by snarky little snots who knew next to nothing about
boats and preferred to discuss their grandchildren, golf, homebrew beer,
motorcycle racing, recipes for barbecue - everything except boats.

That would be Peggy Hall who was driven off by a certain obnoxious
individual who bullied her and stalked her at a boat show and who didn't
have the stones to introduce himself when he was a mere 5 paces away. As a
matter of fact, that individual is here now raising hell.

He probably won't bother you if you ignore him.

Harry ran her off with his low life nasty remarks to her. The group
was really screwed up for a long time because of Harry and JimH's
constant lies, childish name calling, and nasty mean spirited insults.
Then they left for another group, and it was very nice and serene
here, everyone got along. Now they are back with the only reason to
stir ****.
