newsgroup where metalworking posts are still made? I can no longer wade
through the political garbage looking for what little interesting and
educational stuff is left on a site that was supposed to be about

Impending election year. It always gets worse when the presidential
elections are impending, although it is getting worse.

If you find a forum that's better, let us know. In the mean time,
investigate the use of kill files.
