Agent, when downloading messages, says: Downloading up to (x amount)
messages. With filters in place today Agent reported downloading up 134 messages. Only 9 made it past the filters. This is the lowest percentage yet of good to bad messages. Sad. Eric |

Very easy to see that when Wieber started cross posting to gun and political groups this newsgroup started to die. |

Why do people do this? Do they think people really want to discuss these rants? Jon Not really, I just scrolled back to 16-Jul, one month ago and there were many metal related threads: Cutting railroad rail, spindle bearings, spring sources, pulleys and more bearings, limit switches, metalworking demo projects, repairing cracked castings, butt welding SS wire, bending AL, turning rings from copper pipe, sharpen threading dies, gearbox efficiency, hydrostat mower repair, leaking fuel tanks, shaft seals and mystery collets. What there is too much of is people not setting appropriate filters and then bitching saying the group is dying because they can't see the on topic stuff through all the chaff. Fix your filters and the group is very much alive. |

Jon, I came here to learn more about youse guys' field(s) of metalworking, but I stayed because there was a vast assortment of people from different fields discussing -lots- of things, including metalworking. I find much of it to be very interesting. If people would learn to avoid replying to the spammers and idiots, the ratio of those filtered messages would go way down. Improper filtering could be part of some peoples' problem, too. Over- filtering can remove valid postings. -- Truth loves to go naked. --Dr. Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732 |

Sensible posts no longer have any place in this newsgroup thanks to Mark Wieber's cross posting and the losers he attracted like The Pimple, Larry Jackass, etc. |

Harold There is very little value if you can't figure out who the Pimple is and that the Pimple knows nothing about metalworking. Even worse, the Pimple has next to zero mechanical skill. The is very little value when one can't be honest about how clunky a Gorton knee mill is and why many manual machinists prefer less rigidity in a Bridgeport style knee mill because it's more versatile. Go back to your own forum, Harold where you can censor the kind of truth I post that counters your bull****. |

Do they think people really want to discuss these rants? Jon Or is it because no one is posting metalworking threads? And the last time you started a metalworking thread was...when? I bought a sailboat yesterday and dragged a 13 foot FJ sailboat home last nite, on its own 15' trailer..on a 10' flatbed trailer behind my pickup. I arrived home at 2am. Yet its not metalworking. When I discuss repairing the axle of the boat trailer..it will become a metalworking thread. -- ""Almost all liberal behavioral tropes track the impotent rage of small children.

Gunner If he has 500lbs of actual gold plated material then it is probably worth it. If he has 500lbs of crap with gold plated contacts on it, tell him to clip off the contacts and wait till he has a lot more. An oz of gold goes a long way in plating. Even with heavy plating, there might be .001oz in a square inch of plate. |

Even with heavy plating, there might be .001oz in a square inch of plate. What Gunner's friend should do is sell those connectors on eBay. Do not try to smelt that gold. For eBay, I would certainly split that gold plated stuff into lots fitting a large flat rate box. 1) Make good closeup pictures representative of the material 2) Weigh it honestly and accurately 3) List as "LOT,__ LBS OF GOLD PLATED SCRAP RECOVERY COMPUTER CNC CONNECTOR PINS" 4) Place on eBay for auction for 0.01 starting bid. I did sell some gold plated pins this way, and was very satisfied with the final bid and transaction. The 0.01 starting bid will be bid up to its actual market value. Many things should not be sold at 0.01c starting bid auctions, but gold pins will work out OK. i |
