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. Joe Parsons |

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. But I do find your statement interesting, indeed. Joe Parsons -- Email sent to is never read. |
