Since midnight, EDT, I've seen the following posts from the so-called
boaters here, and no others:

Florida Jim an off topic whine
SWTom sci-fi
BAR non-boating whine about sales tax
Eisboch sci-fi
Eisboch sci-fi
D.Duck sci-fi
SWTom sci-fi
SWTom sci-fi
Eisboch sci-fi
Rowdy Mouse winterstorm, non-boating
Salty Palin
D.Duck golf
CalBill Palin
CalBill millionaire politicians
CalBill GOP nonsense
G.Fretwell Palin

The only boating posts from the regulars here are three on topic posts
from Tim around midnight.

This is no longer is a usenet discussion group where boats and boating
topics are discussed. It is a catch-all discussion group where almost
everything except boats is the topic of discussion. Half the posters here
who actually may own a boat either won't discuss their own boats or even
post a picture of it. That would include you, Florida Jim.

So what's your beef here, fella? That there are off-topic posts? Most of
the posts here are off-topic. You think golf, grandchildren clones, travel
trailers, kiddie motorcycle racing, and all the rest of the nonsense are
not off-topic?

You want a boating group, make it one. Start with a disclosure, discussion
and photos of your boat. Then get your boys Loogie, Reggie, BAR to do the
same. Cut back on the off-topic nonsense. After a while, you'll probably
have a boating group again. Maybe.


Practice what you preach, Harry.
No. Forget that. Just get lost.

Oh, I have practiced what I preach. And I'll be delighted to do so in
the future, when this becomes a boating newsgroup again.

A day or two last week, I point out the off topic posts of the regulars
here. What was interesting was the almost total lack of on topic posts.

Which makes me wonder why any of the regulars complain about off topic
posts, since virtually all the posts here from the regulars are off topic.

Some off topic posts are acceptable, but others are not?

That's logical.
