10 are from "regulars" here and are mostly boating related.
27 of them are political cross postings, thanks to Harry.

If we were to leave that sick puppy alone, he might just get bored and
leave.

That would be nice, but given his history over the past 14 years, I doubt
it
will happen soon.
He has an insatiable need to be seen, heard and to spread his political
gospel.

Dragging the other NGs in here by crossposting is just another example of
his hypocrisy and his ill will to those who don't share his POV.

Ironically, he represents everything that is bad in his political
affiliation.

Eisboch

Not to be an asshole or anything, but I must point out that you let him
suck you into his **** on a daily basis.

Filter him and his supporters. Easy.


You're right. Back into the bin.
It just would be nice to see regular faces in here, discussing subjects of
common interest and not the wacko's dragged in by you know who, just to
disrupt the NG.

For the record, I enjoy reading and conversing with almost all the people
here, on boating subjects or not. Even Harry, when he is not on one of his
obnoxious political crusades. IMO, every post or subject need not be
directly boating related, as long as the subjects are of general interest to
most. If they are not of general interest, the threads or initial post soon
die.

Old school plank owners of Usenet correctly point out the practice or custom
of 100% on-topic posting. The practice originated back in the days of 1200
baud (or less), dial-up, Internet connections where downloading a bunch of
posts would take 10 minutes or more. In those days it was important to
stay completely on topic because otherwise you wasted people's time and
affected telephone bills as they downloaded off topic posts.

Those days are gone. It takes a second now to download the subject headers
of a 100 or more posts. IMO, (and it's only an opinion) the speed and
bandwidth today allows for a relaxation of old Usenet customs. Discussing
varied subjects, of common interest, is not a big deal, in my opinion.
Personal insults, flame wars, threats, or using the NG on a regular basis to
further one's own agenda should still be off-limits, I think, but it's
probably too much to realistically expect.

Eisboch



If there was no need to stay on topic, there would be one big
newsgroup, or even a hundred with numbers rather than names. Instead,
there are over 80,000 of them with topics included in their names, and
charters outlining their purpose. It has nothing to do with speed, and
everything to do with organization.





I find it interesting that this comment from Eisboch:

"Personal insults, flame wars, threats, or using the NG on a regular
basis to further one's own agenda should still be off-limits..."

seems to fly in the face of many of his recent comments here.


He's playing the do as I say, not as I do game.

Not to worry; you don't have to work at being an asshole.
Got any more off-topic crap to post here today? Isn't it about time for
more photos of your clonekids?

And quoting him only serves his purpose. No point in doing that.
No point in complaining about him either. Of the thousands of complaints
about Harry that have been posted here, few affect him. Although I did
notice he gets upset when he is called a draft dodging coward. And he
does get a little uptight when we critique his little L.T. boat. ;-)

You are the last person of merit that will talk to him on a regular
basis. I wish you would stop.

Most of the posts here are now about a single poster here with those
posts whining about him or demands to other members to ignore that
person.

RIP rec.boats.

Hell, you've been put out on the curb a dozen times, but the rubbish men
won't get close enough to toss you in the truck. You smell real bad.

I counted 31 posts here since midnight.

Of these:

Six had something to do with boats.

Of those:

Four were from Tim, who mostly stays on topic here, but three of those
had nothing to do with recreational boating.

There were two whining posts from regulars here, including one from you,
and the usual drool from Wally.

As previously stated, if you want this to be a newsgroup about
recreational boating, you have it withing your power to make it so. Of
course, you'll have to convince the remaining few regulars here who
actually "boat" to go along. Good luck with that.

As for the crossposters, there are a couple whose posts are worth
reading, and there are more whose posts are the same sort of mindless
idiocy Loogy posts.

Cheers.

To bring attention to practices that are disruptive to a NG is very much
on-topic.
Subjects of discussion should be by consensus, not by decree of one
individual.

If Harry didn't engage in the same practices on subjects dear to him, of
which he complains about others, he would have a credible point.

But, he's the biggest offender. And he has lap dogs like you to support
him.

It's a game to him, (and you) that's all. He basically admits it. You
should too.

That's true but you and I both know that the individual in question
could give a hoot what other people think. Since I have no further
interest in his abysmal existence, I just pop him into the kill file
under whatever nom du jour he chooses to use.
