This is an absolutely amazing group...

Just a week or two back, you really flamed a guy for presenting bogus
"testimony" about his own website. ("Wow what a great tool..").

One of the biggest complaints was that he was not "up front" about the
fact
that he was SPAMMING, transparently disguising his SPAM as a
"testimonial.".


Now, here's a guy who hides nothing.

His title, "For all your abrasive needs...." makes it pretty clear - to
me,
at least - that he's selling something.

Just from the thread's title, I would assume he selling
abrasives......but,
I'm no mind reader.

As a matter of fact, it is becoming more and more apparent to me that mind
readers would probably starve due to a continuing decline of material with
which to work in this group.


So, the nincompoops who don't know how to say, "NO!" to ANYTHING - and
also
probably don't know how to turn on a lathe or even know which way to
orient
a hacksaw blade - are compelled to open the thread, and find, GASP!,
"SPAM!!!!".......

......something to complain about.....Something to fill their dreary,
empty
day.

Yet another off-topic, non-metalworking thread to file and clog up the
metalworking newsgroup.

Yet another one or two more metalworking "regulars" who are.......

.............disgusted with the off-topic, inane threads, not directly or
even indirectly related to metalworking posts............

.............and, tired of the "opportunists" who jump at ANY slight
chance
to bitch, ****, and moan about things political and things that are
inconsequential in the discussion of metalworking.......

..........heading to greener pastures where they can discuss things of and
related to metal........

.......threatening once again to permanently change the name of this group
from "rec.crafts.metalworking" to "rec.crap.notworking (but collecting
welfare)".

You should take a look 'next door' on sci.engr.joining.welding as he's
SPAMMING there too.
