Default stupid question

Is this an American based forum?

It seems to be politics rather than boats!

We're legally required to maintain a 50:1 ratio of political & boat
messages. How are we doing? You *will* get good boating advice here, though,
if you ask nicely. Just be sure not to include the words "left" or "right"
in your questions.

Then again, it's possible to get very poor boating advice if it comes
from certain sources posting from Seattle or DC...but others will
correct them.

Or from you, who apparently owns no boat, except the toy tugboat your mom
uses to float snacks when you're taking your bath.

Just Google up the words 'bumper' or 'GPS Sextant". That should be
sufficient to ID the NG poseurs.

No, all the groups I have been in have too many political discussions.
