Quite possibly I'll re-subscribe after the elections, but I doubt it.

Enjoy yourselves while I get the boat ready for fishing...

Take your boating related, or other stuff, over to Chuck's Place. It's
monitored, so Harry,et al, can't get too carried away.

This hasn't been a boating newsgroup since "Reggie Smithers" re-emerged
here.

No, this hasn't been a boating newsgroup since YOU re-emerged here.

Stop! You are all responsible. Maybe some more than others but I
haven't seen a single regular poster here who isn't at least part of
the problem in some way. Even the ones who like to think of themselves
as somehow "above the fray" do their part.

As do you.

The desparate lefties have swamped this group with lies trying to
discredit Palin in the last few days. It's a desperate attempt to
save their boy, but the GOP ticket has them on the ropes, and they
know it. It's funny watching them scurry about, but I agree it's
getting a bit old.
Once they realize lies and decite won't work and they'll have to meet
the challenge head-on, this place will return to its normal, abnormal
self.

They will never stop.. It's all they have. They have not the courage
to meet anything head on...

You mean, an articulate, well-informed, reasoned debater like you,
Herring, SW Tom or Loogy? How do you meet a collective vacuum head-on?

Absolutely! But I can't hold a candle to you with your dots and
tinyurl links. That's REALLY dispruptive, and completely lacking in
real and ernest participation of any kind.

Herring has a long history here of posting dots, repetitive links, and
"pat" little insults. He's really incapable of independent thought, or,
as he ages rapidly, seemingly any thought.

You mean, an articulate, well-informed, reasoned debater like you,
Herring, SW Tom or Loogy? How do you meet a collective vacuum head-
on?

Too funny !!!!!
