Sounds great Lee.

I will say no matter what we do, it *has* to be moderated.



I agree, to a point.
I have no problem with a OT post here and there, bragging about ones child,
a quick anecdote about a friend or family member, asking for help on an
unrelated subject, that type of post. Purely on topic gets a little boring.
The political and bashing has got to stop.

I hang in rec.woodworking, and rec.crafts.metalworking too. The OT posts are
few, except for the trolls that come and go. Both these groups are very
healthy in my mind, and there are some OT posts every day, but most are from
long time members and are interesting to most.
If you post OT, just to troll, in either of those groups your ISP will get a
ton of abuse complaints!!
