You just have to mentally filter the crap -- I just took time off between August and November.

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 .... Vince ben carter wrote: 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... |

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. Lane |

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