| Right. I kill file all the morons who regularly post OT, and the
idiots who feed them. If this group were to ever get a moderator, I know a couple peoples
who's heads would explode. __ "It's just about going fast...that's all..." http://home.columbus.rr.com/ckg/ |

| The kill file only works if people follow Usenet SOP. My biggest gripe
is the lack of the simple insertion of the letters "OT" ahead of the
subject in an off-topic post - or a post that has become off-topic. I
have those filtered and it seems to eliminate a third of what makes it
to my news reader. I would prefer not to filter individual people since most are excellent
participants in on-topic threads. I have only a half dozen people
filtered and many of them have either left or no one is responding to
them (the only way I would see it). Dan |

| == I don't think that's the only resolution at all. A bit more civility
and adult behavior would go along way, as would some modicum of regard
for others. For those who still don't get it, there's always the kill file. |

| have you ever seen any civility when thte topic turns 'political'. i
dount it will ever happen. i simply try to ignore them for the most part, but they do sometimes
offer up a valid boating related post. will we get to vote on the
moderator? is it a paid position? ;) |

| It is possible but sometimes everyone just has to agree to disagree
and leave it at that. |
