Does anyone know of a good newsgroup where the posts are about boats and
not
politics? Last time I checked neither Bush nor Kerry make boats or motors.
Or do some of you lack friends who will listen?

rec.boats.criusing is way better. At least the idiots who don't follow the
rules haven't migrated over there yet.

If the idiot in the white house doesn't have to follow any rules, why should
we expect anyone else to?

Stanley,
Well now there's an idea. :-)

Why do we have to bring race into this now?

Iti s a phenomon that has affected all non-moderated newsgroups and
even some that are.

Can't be helped - it's an open forum.

Use your newsreaders filter set up - you'll get 95% of the nonsense.

Paul,

What's your problem?

You've posted at least three boating questions this month
and all of those were responded to in thoughtful ways
by multiple posters. None of those threads mentioned
politics in any way. ~ Avoiding threads that don't
interest you is quite easy. Hint: Most political threads
are started with "OT" which stands for Off Topic. Don't
read those. Set your newsreader to eliminate them if
you want to. ~ Rec.boats is a great source of information
about boats. What else do you want for free?

I have relatively large filters in place and still get 50% crap.
