Default Pruning

After seeing the NOTICE TO THE Supreme Court thread, I have developed a
method of pruning idiot posters from this group. I look at the posters in
such a thread. I look at how many posts they have under a particular
thread, sometimes ten to twenty. I look to see if their name appears
anywhere in the other posts that are related to metalworking. If they only
post in the political threads, I block them. It's narrowing my field of
contributors.

I just grabbed the newest posts. Agent saw 69 but grabbed only 25 for
me. Ahhhh... I'd see even fewer if I plonked the good guys who fall
for the trolls on a daily basis.
