All he's added today is a double-handful of off-topic commentary
expounding on what he finds acceptable in usenet behavior.

Harry, is there something you find objectionable about someone else expressing
an opinion?

Not at all. But a double-handful of posts whining about off-topic posts
and suchlike seems a bit...off-topic.

Please show me where I have *ever* complained about off-topic posts. Just one
would do it.

Is there anything I have said in these threads that you can show to
be false or unreasonable?

I dunno, Joe. I only read about five words in each of the posts, since
they all seemed basically to be on the same off-topic subject.

I find that interesting. You characterize yourself as "liberal," correct? And
one of the litmus tests that such folks (which group may or may not include
myself) self-apply is one of open-mindedness and tolerance, is it not? And yet
you say you don't bother to read what I write because you've already made up
your mind about the content?

I'll be the first to admit that my posts often tend to be longer than most. But
I also try to write economical prose that doesn't overburden the reader. I
don't know that the 750 word "rec.boats obit" was so long as to do that.

But I do find your statement interesting, indeed.

Hey, I don't care what you post here, fella. I just thought it worth
pointing out that you about 20 posts in a row to grind your particular ax.



And yet
you say you don't bother to read what I write because you've already made up
your mind about the content?

There's no requirement that I read your posts or anyone else's posts; I
walk where I want to walk.

Yeah, I know I said, I'm outa here. I meant it.

But it appears that there's a worthwhile discussion going on; so, for the
time
being, at least, I'll add my tuppence, for whatever it might be worth.

Not for me Kevin. For the whiners.

Oh, like that time I exposed you trying to back up your argument by posting
to yourself under another ID, yeah, that was pretty funny.

Paging Mr.Walt Arvin.
