We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

Yours is non-existant. You never post anything about boats.

I'd like to publicly thank Harry Krause for posting 100 times as many
boating topics as Alexis.

I find this questionable. Everyone knows that Bert is much worse than me at
posting O/T garbage.

A lot of the posters come & go...change names etc. My total would be for
the entire sample period. Some with lower totals may have blitzed the
newsgroup over a much shorter period. I say produce statistics that show the
average amount of O/T topics per day newsgroup visited.

Indeed, there's one asshole in here who quite regularly posts under
three or four different sockpuppet handles...you know, Taco Breath,
Scumcast Blues, Porti-Jon Smith and several others, And he's not the
only asshole who does this.

Additional facts:

5 of the top 7 OT posters are left wing nut cases. They accounted for
nearly 22,000 of the nearly 29,000 OT posts made by the top 7.

Krause alone had almost 8,000 OT posts by himself.

Krause, Kanter, 'asskisser, Gould and jps.

There lies your problem. ;-)

Those folks have way too much idle time on their hands.
