MS-
 OK, that is fine.  However, as far as  my recollections go, nobody was offering up brownie recipes or  suggesting a lively debate over the contrasted attributes of 2003 -v-  2004 White Zins.  The material seemed to invariably gravitate to  machinery and the products/things that allow them to (actually) be  useful machinery.
 I did not witness any of these sensitized souls  insisting that groups cease and desist when it came to paying tribute  to a recently departed member (name I can't recall, sorry).
There is  a point here that, apparently, chooses to disguise itself.  There  are methods to categorize input (e.g., place into applicable files) so  that those interested in "old style nets/bolts" or "oil weight options"  can filter and pinpoint such search interests.  Of course, the  onerous responsibility of such categorization largely falls to a  moderator who, I am just guessing here, has a life of his or her own.
  Between outrage over having to sift through a few "errant" emails and  the suggestion that "offing" gasoline thieves is in the national best  interest, I am beginning to wonder....

hasn't started to fall (except up in Northern NY and MN), so the 
conversations tend to wander a little. After a while, Spencer or someone 
will jump in and suggest we get back "on track". As long as we keep it 
civil and don't get into politics, religion, or that kind of thing, it 
gives us an excuse not to have to put up Xmas decorations. :-)
