Sheeesh. This was such a nice and friendly thread - for about one day!
Talk about demise

This NG is now about sending personal messages and talking about
grandchildren, Disney vacations, NASCAR, dirt bikes and guitars.

Add seasonings of personal insults and attacks and you have the recipe
of a dead boating NG.

Oh yes. I remember well the insults and barbs traded with ol' HK. He
just couldn't stand my dead sturgeon stories. And Lord knows that I
wasn't a socialist, a union thug nor an apologist for those who
diddled with the help in the White House - so he never seemed to warm
up to my fishing stories. But frankly, I enjoyed the nonsense. Hey
Harry, are you still multi-tasking? That is, typing away on your
keyboard while your nurse changes you diaper? ahhhhh. Such fun!
