Skipper, my boat is in storage. I can't even look at it. It will be that

I'm not doing any fishing, but when I do, I'll talk about it. Honest.

There is still a vast menu of on-topic items to be discussed in the off
season. Do you really think 99% off-topic is healthy for the NG?

Neutral topics of interest should not be excluded from discussion.

I completely agree, but not when off-topic consumes the NG. Best course
for the NG is keeping the *primary* focus on boating, IMO. Look at
today's NG content. Do you really believe that's the kind of content to
draw in and retain boaters?

On another note, check out the charter and voting summary for
rec.boats.cruising. I do find it interesting that only two of the
original voters still participate in that group:

Skipper,
Why don't you start another thread with a boating topic you think we be
of interest?

Perhaps the word boats could be dropped from the group name, then it
would just be "recreational"...
