Hard to tell something is not worth readin until you start to read it. The
subject
line statys the same with each port so you have no clue until you open the
post.

But then, how many CEOs
actually know much about the technical end of what their company does?

This is ignorant. It is a completely misinformed assumption to state that
CEOs
don't know the technical side of their products.

I can only speak from personal experience. Others experiences may vary.

I suspect that by
now FP has gathered enough missinformation to slap you with a
libel suit when the time is right.

This is just plain funny. The truth is an absolute defense.

It's just that so many contradictary statements have been made by all
sides that is is hard to believe that they are all accurate.

Doug, you should let the marketplace of information run without
interfering.
If you don't care, don't tune in. I, for one, like to see a manufacturer
held
to account.

They can be held accountable without broadcasting everything
in a newsgroup.

Nuff said. I've said all I care to. I didn't intend to get sucked into this
discussion. Must have had a brief lapse of sanity.

Not really true. I often put a delete filter on whole subject lines. So
all you'd have to do is filter on Panda and you wouldn't get any posts
about that topic.

Sometimes I set the filter with an expiration of 30 days of inactivity.
That is when there have been no posts with that subject or word in the
subject line for 30 days then the filter expires on its own.

As a general rule, I figure that any time a subject has more than 40 or 50
posts in it, then it is probably so far off topic that it isn't of interest
anymore. I also flag to watch or delete certain people.
