Plug just about any inquiry into Deja/Google and you'd find great
information from this group. Not anymore. Today...400 posts of
garbage...and from 'contributors' who have very little practical
knowledge of boats AND boating. The knowledgeable sources have gone to
saner climes.

Just look at the posts from the NG's most prolific offenders; Harry
Krause, Doug Kanter, Bert Robbins, Alt_man2, JimH, JohnH, P. Fitz, or
Gene Kearns. Research the archives for ANY relevant subject...these
folks are totally void of useful boating information in the archives.
You will not see this current crop of know nothings being the source for
anything useful.

Face it, rec.boats is a bad joke to serious boaters...as are those who
continue to contribute to the pollution. Go ahead fellas, make a name
for yourselves...

You have also not contributed one iota to any discussion about boats since
you came back. You have, however, dug up some old posts you made years back

Perhaps I was in error to include you in the list of the worst NG
polluters. Would you care to point us toward a couple useful and
informative boating posts of yours we can find in the Google archives?
....Didn't think so. And that was the message here...useful contributions
versus uselessness. Time for you folks to find something useful to do.

======================================

You didn't say what kind of information you were looking for.

That would be a good start.

I have actually noticed some signs of improvement recently.

Lead by example.

Solly Challie, but you haven't tried then.

But a quick Google of your posts since you came here shows nothing but you
whining, lying and preaching.

Get a life Skipper. And then try looking in the mirror.

Next time, include my entire post please.
===================================
Here was my original post that you conveniently clipped in parts:

So tell us about your boat and your boating adventures in Derby, Kansas
Skipper. What sort of trips did you take these past years on your boat?

BTW: If I remember right *you* came here just recently after a prolonged
absence only to spread lies about several members here, most especially
Chuck Gould. This went on for weeks.

You have also not contributed one iota to any discussion about boats since
you came back. You have, however, dug up some old posts you made years back
about an adventure to the Sea of Cortez and fighting 20 foot waves in a 24
foot Bayliner. You have also bitched and moaned and started flame wars.

Go back to hiding Skippy. We were better off without you here.

It's said that when a bunch of fatuous do-see-know-nothings gets carried
away by the slightest breeze of fame and acquire an overly high
estimation of their own worth, their ridiculous vanity soon makes them a
laughing-stock. This NG proves the adage.

This NG has been transformed into a slime pit populated by a nasty nest
of effusive dim-wits deserving of a session with the scold's bridle.

What ever works for you. What I do at 6:00AM is roll over and try to
get some more sleep. If that doesn't work and I still want to know
where east is, I look to see where the sun is coming up.

What if it's cloudy out?

Means the weather is bad, and time to stay in bed. And if in bed, who cares
which way East is?
