Is it me or is this newsgroup getting a little too OFF TOPIC? I mean, at
least talk about the war as it relates to metalworking...

You must be new here. It's been this way as long as I've been
lurking/posting.

You just have to mentally filter the crap -- I just took time off
between August and November. Now that the election's over most of the
shouting has died down & it's more or less back to the usual din.

You miss understand the purpose of the group. It's not about
metalworking, it's about the "recreational crafts" that people
interested in metalworking are interested in.

And it's really like one big family, and like most families, it's a
little disfunctional.

Just my 2 cents ....

Read what you want, don't read what you don't want. It's not that hard. Just
like at a family gathering or reunion, some conversations you like and join,
some you don't. But at least the family is all there.

If you use Agent, hit the "I" (ignore) button repeatedly until you see
something you like.

Works for me.

Use your killfile to filter out a minor number of particular posters, and
the majority of the OT stuff will be gone......end of problem.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.

Still my favorite analogy: "I went to the coffee shop with some friends and
they had the NERVE to talk about something other than coffee!!!"
