off topic?
I had Agent mark "all read" ten days ago, and since then 2000 off topic, mostly presidential politics, posts have accumulated. Thats just the garbage I sidestepped, not including the stuff I read, or at least opened. There is a NG that bans politics, religion, and acronyms. Everyone posts under their real name, most have been doing it for years, some, including myself, for more than a decade. If there was a downside to posting under your real name, I have seen no evidence thereof. In ten years. Fake names, handles, are, with rare exceptions, signs of malice. My initial reaction to a obviously fake name is, **** you, you have nothing to say. Casady |

Have you noticed that the people here who are pushing for 'real names' are also the worst name-callers and the most offensive people in the group? I sure am glad I use my real name. I hope you don't mind if I don't pick up the soap bar. See? I tolja. The real name users are the trashiest talkers around. I think he must be talking about this hk character. He sometimes goes by the name HK, he really is the trashiest talk around, and would be worth listening to if he used his real name, address and phone number. |

Did you guys get any water from Hanna? Or anyone else? I'm sitting here waiting for Hanna to come roaring through and dump a bunch of water. This was supposed to start last night. So far, nothing but drizzle. |

So far, nothing but drizzle. Nothing from Hanna, but we have had a lot of rain this month. The lake continues to go up. It is now even harder to see the shallow areas because they are covered by 2 ft. of water. You really just need to know the lake. Last week I saw a small runabout boat cruising along and they hit a sand bar, surprisingly, except for the bumps and bruises of the passengers, the boat was able to be shoved off and they left under their own power. NO telling how much actual damage was done to the hull and OB. |
