Will we see very little metal working content this weekend as well?

I can't do it all.

Step it up.

Why doesn't this group have a moderator to keep all the posts that
don't belong out. I almost never even look here anymore because its a
waste of my time. I don't need to come here to read or hear what any
of the paranoid nuts have to say. I've worked with at least one at
every job i've had for the last 20 years

It isn't a moderated newsgroup. It can't be changed into a moderated
newsgroup. That is done at the time the group was created. Create a
moderated metalworking newsgroup & see how active it is, if it is even
propagated on enough NNTP servers to have an audience. Start a private
forum, then kick off everyone you don't like, until it isn't worth
paying the hosting fees.

It's the way this Usenet newsgroup has been structured. The answer to
the problem is more people posting metalworking content rather than
complaining about something that can't be controlled.

Know of some good blogs or websites with metalworking content... post
links to them!

Know of some good metalworking videos... post the links!

Have something metalworking related to share or ask... post it!

It's time to take back control of this newsgroup and return it to what
it was charterer for.

Hopefully, Google can do something -- it's a great group and I'm a hypocrite because I got caught up in responding to some of the crap myself.

NO MORE.

Politics and Religion are a waste of time.

Metalworking, industrial arts (or any interest) are not.

I will say one thing -- (and I don't mean to stir it up) -- both sides are guilty but there is a real prevalence for one side's point of view -- I think we know which side does MOST of the original posts.

I may be wrong, but I think it's obvious.

There is not enough effort being made to post metalworking content.
The newsgroup has lost its focus and balance is gone.

it all started with the wacko leftists like tmt cross-posting. Now RCM
is just in the litany of NG's to spam by said leftists and they keep
attracting more of the scum. It's just a matter of filter maintenance.
