Sigh.............. I just read thirty posts on this lame newsgroup, none
of which had anything to do with woodworking. Why don't you rename this
one "Shitheads flaming each other"? None of this useless bickering
pertains to making sawdust. Does anyone say anything about woodworking
here? I, for one, am disappointed that every newsgroup I have subscribed
to invariably sinks to petty pot shots having nothing to do with the
supposed subject matter. If bullshit were money, newsgroups would be the
killer app of the internet.

And your post, of course, was all about woodworking?

This group is not anywhere near as bad as a lot of others on the net.
Hang out and follow awhile. Youll start seeing the same people. And
just like any group of the same folks, they argue about things.
And, given a sense of humor, and that you recognize some of the names
involved, it gets kinda amusing at times. I have learned a lot from
folks on this group, and have been disgusted a few times, but it
doesnt bother me anymore, for the reasons I give above. This group
is just a bunch of people from all different walks, all with woodworking
in common, throwing around various discussions. Not all of which end
up being about woodworking. Some people share jokes, we argue about
various stores and prices and service. There is one particular guy
who loves to really get things stirred up. I have even grown to
find him funny and would probably miss him if he dissappeared. So
hang out awhile and give the group a chance. There is definately a 
wealth of WW knowledge to be had here.
