I found it interesting, I personally try to avoid the lounge nowadays as it is a cross between the third Reich and woman's own.
In fact I am going to make a point from now on of posting none marine posts to the boat sections. It is mid winter, there is only so many summer recollections and where is it posts the scuts can take.
Plus.
None boaty posts also seem to pull out a lurker or two from the woodwork (see, a boaty connection) to whine about the subject matter. If we all left the forum to lurkers who want to keep the posting strict to 100% moderated boating posts then the forum would die a death.
If you don't believe me, have a look at themultihull.com which is moderated by someone with an attitude like Kevin's, in fact, it actually does appear to have <u>died</u>. Is that what you would like?
OK here goes, on a similar subject:
at a RAF training base in S. Africa there was a tame lion who hung around the place getting fed and sleeping. One day the sergeant got a shout from the control tower that Leo was asleep on the runway, and a flight was due any minute. The sergeant went out and gave the lion a hefty kick and shooed him off, returned to the shack to find Leo asleep in the shade.

You're not the only one. It can still be quite funny, even sociable at times but not being a paid-up member of the UK Rottweiller tendency, I avoid about 75% of the threads as they're inhabited by people who are not quite on this planet.
I absolutely agree with you there. I got diverted to A.N. Other yachting forum the other day and wandered around, banging on doors, but no-one was at home. It looked as though someone had been there the day before and a couple of people before Xmas.
