I don't understand the need to post jokes, political thoughts, and

sharing

dealing with woodworking...especially without putting OT in the
header. If
there are members of the group you want to share with why not create an
email distribution list? What am I missing?




Think of this group as a large family.

Sometimes a family member wishes to share and idea that is not of
interest to all the family.


Should have stopped right there.

AS long as it is not some religious harangue, it's not such a big deal.


.... all that statement does is indicate what *your* hot button topic
happens to be.
