What's happened to their newsgroup site? It is all gibberish.

If Captain Neal visits your newsgroup, you would be wise to completely ignore
him, and kill file anybody that engages him in any way. You have been warned.

Basically, the flonkers' interest was piqued by a couple of people
cross-posting, even though they should have known better. In addition, a
couple of people also joined the databasix ISP, a known haven for looney
tuners. If you have any doubt, check out http://archives.mfn.org.
Fortunately, there are only a few of them.

You just need to adjust your filters a bit and refrain from responding to
them.

Your first mistake is in your subject line--thinking alt.sailing.asa is
about sailing. It's about flaming, posing and generally trying to show you
have the biggest dick on the dock. The boat is only a tool for that purpose.
Optimistically, maybe one message in ten is an exception, and worth reading
during normal times.

So what the latest dump of garbage has done is simply increase exponentially
the number of posts you have to delete without reading.

I have deleted this the ASA. Sailing Site from the newsgroups I visit. You
are right, it hasn't been about sailing in some time. I don't even know why
I went there.
