Default about this?

plese tell me about this?
what is this?


reading the replies to this post and the "good bye" post, this is the first
time i ever had the *strong* feeling usenet is like graffiti in a bathroom
stall, the old "...he who reads these words of wit..." line. suddenly it
seemed to me usenet is like reading the graffiti on a bathroom stall (a long
held human tradition, even including ancient greek times), if you can glean
any at ALL useful information here (i mean, specific to metalworking) you
could consider yourself lucky (though there's lots of serendipitous useful
info). i never had this feeling before, somehow i always thought of usenet
discussion groups as a place where people SHOULD abide by the "rules" and
cooperate with each other to exchange topical useful information. huh! i'm
not saying reading the graffiti in bathroom stalls is bad, it certainly is
entertaining, and i'm not putting down the people who posted replies in
these two threads, just it never hit me that way before. i just had an
image, a bathroom stall with the words (in 3" tall plasma cut steel letters)
"Rec.Crafts.Metalworking" above the door. (as if anyone would respect that
the only permitted graffiti inside would be metalworking related.)

b.w.
