Never ever underestimate the incompetent.


Welcome to the group.

RCM is a great group...in spite of its flaws.

I have monitored this group for decades and it has been a great one to
learn from.

I encourage you to review the older posts...5, 10 15 years back...they
have much to teach.

All of Usenet has the off topic stuff..which in my opinion makes it
even more interesting and educational.

The recent problem we see with the ever increasing political posts
mirrors the tension of the nation...and the desperation of the
conservative following.

You will see that the conservative right is the vast majority of this
BS.

And it has been tolerated to a large part here because of the majority
of individuals here are older and more conservative.

Also certain interests like guns that are metal related draw the more
conservative audience.

For many years I would just skim over the political discussions and
rarely participated.

In the last few years, I found the overwhelming conservative slant of
the multitude of discussions to be ...well let's just say I was got
sick and tried of the bald face lies.

So I decided to join in with a bit of my own contributions...to
balance out the final result.

The fact that the conservative loudmouths can't stand me now says more
about them than it does about me.

As to how to use this resource, I would recommend skimming for obvious
metalworking discussions.

Any political post that I make here is clearly marked OT to alert you
that it likely does not contain metalworking content.

Feel free to ask questions...someone knowledgable will respond.

And again welcome to the group.
