Lee, would the following be on or off topic?
******************************
This newsgroup starting going down the drain when the rabid attack
dogs,
Skipper and Karen Smith, starting inserting themselves into virtually
every discussion with hair-splitting nonsense. Ms. Smith has played
the
attack dog around here for years, and has literally chased off many
posters who had valuable contributions to make with her incessant
attacks on them and their ideas. As these quality posters left, their
places at the table were taken by the right-wing BORG, who feel it
necessary to assimilate the world.
************************************************
This is a prime example of how a very on-topic thread gets turned into
a flame war.

Check out the BS and the Boat Talk forums at www.tidalfish.com
..There's something there for everyone, and it's free and moderated.The
moderators do a great job, but they do put up with some flak every now
and then.

Access to all the forums may require registration, but it's no big
deal. I've yet to get any unsolicited spam from these guys.
