Definitely!

But you know what, SoFarrell?

I joined this NG a couple of weeks ago, and felt just like you.
Then I systematically "killfiled" (blocked) every participant
in every thread that was either offending or off-topic.
I probably removed a lot of knowledgeable good people, but
as long as they can't resist joining an offending thread, I
can live without their advice.

Now I receive 15-30 posts a day, and 90% of them is written
by helpful people, on-topic, and in a reasonable, friendly tone.

Much better!

I have to second that. I was ruthless with my filters canning the
infantile, self centered, infantile self centered, and just plain
ignorant.

It's been a very nice and informative news group for quite some time.

I cannot recall any contributions, OT or on topic, you or Dag have made to
this NG Mike. Can you direct me to some? ;-)

So what kind of boating to you do Dag?
Sal****er...freshwater...cruising....fishing?

Don't come to a conclusion on this NG based only on following it for a
couple of weeks. Things can get pretty spirited here one day and not the
other. In general there are some pretty nice (and very knowledgeable)
folks here.

Welcome aboard and we look forward to your contributions to the group.
