Got my Thunderbird filters working (only passes rec.crafts.metalworking)

I fear this is hopeless - is there another metal working group (not
necessarily on Usenet) that anyone could recommend?

Atta Girl, Laurie. Insult the group, then ask for help.
Why didn't _I_ think of that?g

Perhaps that was a bit harsh but in any case was directed only at those
who post or xpost OT content (why do they do that anyhow? - there are
other much more suitable groups; the ones with "politics" in the name
for example).

Lots of us frequent the CNC Zone, but your particular wants and needs
will determine which group will catch -your- interest.

G'luck!

P.S: Let us know what you find out there, will ya? Danke mucho,
Madamoiselle.

I appreciate the suggestions (even though I am not a girl or madam .
