Cliffandgunner:

All else aside my points were that this is a metalworking newsgroup
which you two are using as a political bulletin board. I don't have to
substantiate that point to anyone who isn't a fool. I haven't taken a
poll but I'm damn tired of it and I know there's others that have
commented in the same vein. I don't post my model airplane stuff, or my
electronic design stuff, or my DSP stuff or my control engineering stuff
or my ham radio stuff here 'cause it's way off topic.

I would appreciate the two of you showing the same consideration to the
rest of us.

If either of you could back up -- with your fancy citations -- how
extreme political ranting from either direction relates to metalworking
any more closely than any of the above topics I'm all eyes.

Otherwise could you just mail your stuff to him, and he can mail his
stuff to you? Then the rest of us can just read posts about working
metal unless we check into a political newsgroup where all your ranting
belongs?

Just picture yourself in 6th grade. Listen to the voice of Mr. Nordmo:
Knock it off. Take it outside. If it doesn't add value to the class
then bottle it up.

Got it? Both of you? Assuming you're not the same person?

Im still waiting for your cites. Is there some reason you are
avoiding backing up your rant with citations?

Gunner: Whether or not you are also Cliff and only choose to post
useful stuff under the G name, I _do_ appreciate your on-topic posts.

Your welcome

them self determination under "play nice" rules.
