 Sorry I missed the original posting.  However, I have major problems 
 with a moderated group.  The moderator sits on a very high horse. 
 Having no other choice, I'd rather put up with the B.S. that is easily 
 filtered out as the alternative.  A good newsreader allows you to list 
 according to headers in the same thread, so they are all lumped 
 together, and readily deleted. 
  
 That said, the OT posters are still the most ignorant people I have 
 ever had the displeasure to meet.  They are totally arrogant and 
 self-serving, and common courtesy is not in their vocabulary.  There 
 is no need for them to post completely OT, even if labelled as such. 
 They do it, like little children and spammers, simply to show that 
 they can.  It shows clearly their mentality.  If they had more than 
 one brain cell between them they'd be able to form their own 
 discussion group elsewhere.  That done, there'd be a lot more decent 
 people posting relevant topics for discussion, making this newsgroup 
 what it should be; informative about woodworking. 
  
 So, no moderation, but those responsible for the OT crap should know 
 that they are seen to be as stupid and ignorant as they make 
 themselves out to be.  Now watch for their intelligent replies. 
  
 Bill.
