There was a time when this NG was a great source of boating information.
Plug just about any inquiry into Deja/Google and you'd find great
information from this group. Not anymore. Today...400 posts of
garbage...and from 'contributors' who have very little practical
knowledge of boats AND boating. The knowledgeable sources have gone to
saner climes.

Just look at the posts from the NG's most prolific offenders; Harry
Krause, Doug Kanter, Bert Robbins, Alt_man2, JimH, JohnH, P. Fitz, or
Gene Kearns. Research the archives for ANY relevant subject...these
folks are totally void of useful boating information in the archives.
You will not see this current crop of know nothings being the source for
anything useful.

Face it, rec.boats is a bad joke to serious boaters...as are those who
continue to contribute to the pollution. Go ahead fellas, make a name
for yourselves...

You have also not contributed one iota to any discussion about boats
since
you came back. You have, however, dug up some old posts you made years
back

Perhaps I was in error to include you in the list of the worst NG
polluters. Would you care to point us toward a couple useful and
informative boating posts of yours we can find in the Google archives?
...Didn't think so. And that was the message here...useful contributions
versus uselessness. Time for you folks to find something useful to do.

Next time, include my entire post please.
===================================
Here was my original post that you conveniently clipped in parts:

So tell us about your boat and your boating adventures in Derby, Kansas
Skipper. What sort of trips did you take these past years on your boat?

BTW: If I remember right *you* came here just recently after a prolonged
absence only to spread lies about several members here, most especially
Chuck Gould. This went on for weeks.

You have also not contributed one iota to any discussion about boats since
you came back. You have, however, dug up some old posts you made years back
about an adventure to the Sea of Cortez and fighting 20 foot waves in a 24
foot Bayliner. You have also bitched and moaned and started flame wars.

Go back to hiding Skippy. We were better off without you here.
