1) I no longer have Skipper's phone number. To the best of my
recollection, I met with Skipper in 1999 and again in 2000. I don't
keep junk contact information for 5-6 years. I was doing some stuff on
switchboard.com last week
and I got an "unlisted" hit for Dave Mann in Derby, KS. I can't blame
the guy, he makes enemies for a hobby.


For giggles I did a People Search on Yahoo for David Mann, Derby, KS. about
a week ago. I got an return showing an active telephone number and address.

Sorry, we were unable to find the person you requested.

Please try any of the following:

Check the spelling of the person's name, city, and state.
Broaden your search by entering less information (ex. just enter last
name)
If you are unsure of the spelling of the last name, enter just the
first few letters (in this case, omit the first name).

If you found his phone number someplace, that's great. What would I
possibly have to say to this guy? Maybe you should call him, Florida
Jim. You seem to have a lot more in common with him.

Lloyd; You may as well decide to start a buggy whip factory. The era of
the internet forum has come and gone, killed off IMO by the search
engine.
If a guy wants to know why his outboard won't start, how to splice
3-strand,or when the salmon season is open in the Srait of Georgia,
he'll run a search engine. Going to a discussion group provides a ton of
conflicting advice- offered by people of varying crediblity and
experience, and no real way to vet who is talking through his/her arse.
The forum format brings in a bunch of non-boaters who turn it into a
chat room for the exchange of bitchy personal remarks, and extra-bitchy
personal remarks reserved for folks of either more liberal or
conservative political stripe. Look at the mess here in rec.boats. When
a boating related post gets 2-3 responses but a thread titled, "George
Bush is a _________" or "NG participant X is a _________" generates
150-200 name-calling exchnges *that* defines the character and tone of
the NG as it exists.
For gosh sakes, if you start one of these things maintain the ability to
moderate the worst trolls and most destructive posters. Rec.boats is a
prime example of people shelfishly hijacking a forum and filling it with
bull guano.
===============================
Very well put, Chuck. I still visit hoping that the NG will get back to
rec. boating. Like a wise man said, "Hope springs eternal."

Lloyd, don't deprive all of us Central Canadians (Pat, our un-moderator, is
from Ottawa, still a thousand miles from the "East") of your occasional
discussions of Wet Coast boating. I read them all! But I visit enough
forums, wouldn't add another to my list.

Hi,

I've been frequenting a wonderful fishing forum full of great local
folks, but I've been wishing for a similar board for boating. I've seen a
few "Canadian" forums, but they all seem centered around the east (as is
can.rec.boating). Is there a boating forum with a West-coast flavour?

If not, I'm thinking of setting one up. Anyone wanna join?

Hardly. Jim and Skipper were not exactly drinking buddies.

Chuck,
Try using whitepages, it seems to work, but please don't choke on anything.

Chuck,
How do you know Skipper had a stroke?

Accurate, Shmackurate Psuedo:

One could respond to every one of your posts with a long litany of
Skipper and Psuedo Skipper faux paus and foolishness in the NG......but
why bother? Why make bitchy personal remarks an issue that doesn't
concern you because (1) you are not a boater and (2) except for
charter fishing down in the Gulf of CA on somebody else's boat, you
rarely ever ventured off the duck ponds of KS?

Some don't know the difference between a useful, on-topic contribution
and a bitchy personal remark.


You know, you really are screwed up enough to be Cave Mann, Psuedo.
Masterful snipping of the post in your response. That was a
particularly favorite dirty trick of the pre-stroke Skipper.

Congrats on your whiny bitchy personal remarks, Chucky. After all, this
is the prevaricating rad/lib shyster that we are getting to know so very
very well:

For crying out loud. It isn't rocket science Chuck:

========================================
Hello, is Dave Mann there? Hi Dave, this is Chuck Gould.

insert general conversation.

Anyway, the reason I am calling is to find out if it is really you who is
posting on rec.boats.
========================================

Mystery solved one way or another.

Skipper,
Since it is obvious that you are the same Skipper who graced this NG for
years, why do you think the left wing contingent want to pretend you are a
"fake" Skipper?
