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.


It is also unfortunately a place for "some of us" not to engage in
reasoned discussion/debate but to hurl insults, threats and invective
and, OT posts or not, that happens with lamentable frequency. That is
the bigger issue IMO.

A recent example:

"Odd..I assumed the readers would be able to follow along. You of course
are in denial, so no matter what I posted, you would simply scrunch up
your widdle face, start squalling and probably **** your pants as you
hunched around in a tight little circle while shrieking and stamping
your widdle feet.

But hey...next time You post..Ill start counting and pointing out your
lies. Its quite easy to do.

But son? Wear a diaper before spewing out one of your lie filled
posts..ok? Cause I really hate the smell of ****."

But I will cease now for fear of being accused of not practicing what I
preach.

Thread drift; like the poor and end times, will be with us always.
Cats, women, and Usenet threads will do as they please, and dogs, men
and the overly rigid will have to just accept those facts.

Speaking of filters, does anyone have any comments about replacing
the OEM paper air filters with those K&N Replacement Air Filters kits?
