Hi Doug,


Hey, check the title of the thread. See the "OT" in it? Stands for
"off topic". If you don't like reading off-topic threads, there's a
simple solution: don't read them.


Interesting as this discussion may be, you have just argued for reducing
the entire usenet to one large group - as long as people just start their
threads with OT.
You cannot be serious ?


Ever been in a shop with your co-workers? Did you all focus on the
job at hand with a single-minded intensity, or chat about things that
had nothing whatsoever to do with work to pass the time between those
moments when focus on the job was absolutely necessary? There sure is
a place for "shop talk" in a woodworking forum, at least in my
opinion.
