Welcome back Chuck,
You should congratulate Tom for having the foresight to banish Krause
before he had the opportunity to destroy your board. What Krause is
doing here, he will do there given half a chance.

What's funny is that of all of the recent posts over at Chuck's they
are ALL on topic. When you take a certain person out of the equation,
good things happen!

Well, Chuck. This morning the moritorium on communication with Harry,
Salty, and the rest of the crew you did not have the gonads to deal
with ended. If you go back the last week you will find that across the
board, every old school poster here was ignoring him. The only
activity from them was Harry crossposting his political bull**** to
half a dozen other groups to bring in the clowns and throw a temper
tantrum because we were all ignoring him.


In other words, your "experiment" made things even worse!

By the way, if you contact Gene, you can read this group through his
news server which eliminates 90% of the bull**** here and he is not
afraid of filtering any poster who is an idiot..

Gene's filtered server is useless because all of you still keep
reading the unfiltered stuff too. You can't saty away!

Hey Jimbo......You were also permanently binned by Chuck, although you
found a way to get around that and post under a different handle.

Jesus, he'll have no one left to read posts from at all. Everyones an
idiot on here.....
Does his filter filter NON BOATING posts???????? THAT would be
great....


I agree. A closely moderated boating newsgroup would be nice. But, of
course, most of the Little Schitts wouldn't have any reason to post.

A group of intelligent subscribers willing to make a modest effort is
all you need to completely control the direction of any newsgroup.
It's been proven time and time again. Moderated newsgroups are for
people like Scotty who are not bright, and don't know how to keep
things on track without using gestapo tactics.

It's been tried. The Seven Little Schitts are still here.

I've seen it done elsewhere. It can be done, but as I said, it
requires a little effort and a moderate level of intelligence.

It will never happen here.
