I took his statement to mean that Keller followed Gunner
here from another group .


I wonder if you followed them in here too, Terry.


Since you're pretty new here, this is the rundown. I think that
Winston will back this up.

The cross-posting started with Gunner, over a decade ago. He used to
post long copypasta diatribes, like Keller does now, and cross-post
them to the kook NGs he hung out in. This brought in a freakshow of
Gunner's buddies.

One of Gunner's and Banquer's antagonists, Cliff (now deceased)
thought this was a great idea and he picked it up. He made it even
worse. Jon Ball ("Rudy Canoza," "Fred C. Dobbs," and a dozen or so
other nyms) crawled in on the tail end of that. Those trolls have no
interest in metalworking but were just looking for a fight.

Now some of them add RCM to their cross-post lists on their own. Ball
is even here from time to time without any cross-posts. They're just a
sick bunch of trolls.

Terry is not one of them. He discusses metalworking.
