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).


Some of us consider this group to be a grand meeting place for people
who are interested in machining, or actively engaged in it in various
aspects.

But..unlike our jobs..its a place to show up, open a cold one, chat with
the folks about machining, guns, politics, machining, machinery and so
forth.

Afterall...we neither get paid for being here, nor do we pay to be here.
Now..having some of the more odeous members cross post their crapola
into this group does have the effect of developing posts on politics on
occasion. But its a very big and very wide room, and there is room for
folks who talk about civil aviation repairs, gun smithing, machine
repair..smoke and Kilowatt meters and all sorts of interesting and not
so interesting Stuff.

Thats why the Subject lines generally show that a thread is or is not
metalworking related.

Failure to read the Subject line, simply shows one to be either lazy, a
whiner or stupid if they complain about the contents of the thread.

There are lots of other threads one may click on that may be of more
interest to people. such as yourself.
