Don't get too down on things Chris. I've been with the group for about a
month. With immediate and liberal use of subject filters and with my
news reader calls a bozo list (ignore sender filter) you can actually
pick up some good information on boating.

This morning the list had two hundred plus messages waiting too be
downloaded. By the time the filters did their thing I received all of 18
messages that actually had boating content. The usual average is
somewhat greater. Around fifty percent.

yea - even with message filters, (which filter about 50%), there are still
stealth OT's and many thread highjacks. Try the forums at iboats.com-
excellent stuff.

Stop, will ya? If you read the boating messages, you'll notice that the same
people who are at one another's throats in political discussions manage to
switch gears completely and act civilized when answering boating questions.
Ignore the threads that don't interest you and read the ones that do.
Simple.

Bull****, your saying it's ok to break Usenet rules and the people
complaining are in the wrong. Bottom line is the people posting these off
topic posts are in the wrong, and people have the right to complain, Simple.

I think you missed Doug's point.

You can beat your head against this wall all you like. He was just offering you
a helmet to cushion the blows a bit.

there is a lot of unrelated posting here. maybe the peple that have
political arguments should be more polite and take it elsewhere.
i only discovered this forum a few weeks back and have a wealth of
mechanical knowledge to share so dont be shy.
