River Ice Breaking 01

The Amphibex machine breaks up the ice so that it will move down stream without piling up. The link is to the Amphibex web site http://www.normrock.ca/1/The_Amphibex/The_Amphibex What a great invention, seeïng the video's on the page its simply great. I never saw a ship like this, thats the interesting thing of this newsgroup. Starting years ago with Tallships, we ran out of pictures from, Tallships. Then the regulars decided to accept any ship because we are all lovers of the sea. Even lighthouses are allowed, even a wooden shoe with a sail. That keeps this NG alive. If we only accepted tallships this group would be dead by now. What Bouler said. I approve. |

Then, crazy people like me came along and started posting "short ships" and kids sitting on battleship guns and the like! grin But, as a late-comer, I think the group collectively made a good decision to broaden the charter of this NG else the number of posts would be quite small. I'm very happy to be a novice member and I really like the people here. Plus, I've found a number of very good pictures to add to my non-car collection so it's a win-win for me. -- HP, aka Jerry "That's all I have to say about that" - Forrest Gump |

I approve. jevan, I hardly want to inject some sillyness about formalizing the activities of this NG with a set of rules/FAQs unless there is broad support for such a thing. But, do you, Bouler, anyone think that at least an INFORMAL document should be put together? I'm also not trying to create work for anyone, I certainly don't have the time to take this on. Perhaps it is a moot question since everyone seems to get along quite well with no FAQs or even posting guidelines and I've not seen any flame wars as far back as my NSP has posts so there must be pretty universal agreement with what is being posted and folks must either like it or are at least neutral. So, what do you and the others think might/should be done, if anything? What brought this up is the ice-breaking "ship" which I personally found extremely interesting as I've never seen such a beast nor ever even thought about why it might be necessary, so I say - bring 'em on! -- HP, aka Jerry "That's all I have to say about that" - Forrest Gump |

Its Joevan Jerry, Joevan and I know each other for years and have e-mailcontacs now and than. I think this club of friends does not use a faq or other rules, there are already to many rules in the wold that stops creativity and freedom. Some rules are OK, but a lot of rules made by Governements make people like robots, they don't think anymore but just follow a leader and thats dangerous. Oops I was serious;-) -- Greetings Bouler (The Netherlands) |

We are all familiar with the term rules are made to be broken. There is no trouble until the rules get broken. This is the most laid back newsgroup I have seen in over twenty years of usernet. My advice is, If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. By the way there are many unusual craft on or near the water Cranes, Dredges, Platforms etc. For example: http://www.boeing.com/special/sea-launch/ I wouldn't mind seeing photos of these. Not much chance of that thing floating down the Red River in January. Seems like a few others here have quite an active curiosity as well. LdB |

Its Joevan Jerry, Joevan and I know each other for years and have e-mailcontacs now and than. Yes, I made a typo, Bouler. My apologies to jOevan.

I just wanted to bring the subject up for a mild discussion. One of my old bosses used to say "no decision is in itself a decision", a quote from my "Famous Quotes" document, and I believe that is how this group wants to deal with it. -- HP, aka Jerry "That's all I have to say about that" - Forrest Gump |

Well I cannot speak for the whole group, but I'm hanging around here for 8 years and seldom trouble in this group. In my brief visits to this NG at your suggestion, I have found it to be one of the friendliest of all the Usenet NGs I have ever visited along with a.b.p.wallpaper and wallpaper.duplicates. I said when I initially started to post that I did not want to be any sort of disruptive influence and I believe I have kept to that promise. So, as to formalizing this NG, let's just let it drop. The entire discussion got started, I think, by my off-hand joking comment that the ice-breaking machine in this series was a "tall-ship" I could identify with. Perhaps I shouldn't have said that at all. Hopefully, no harm was done and we can all go back to just enjoying the pictures of whatever people desire to share with us. -- HP, aka Jerry "That's all I have to say about that" - Forrest Gump |
