Thanks for the stellar example of an on-topic post. Sheesh.

You're right. It's pretty sad though. I guess everybody needs to put a
purpose to their existence.

In future it would be most helpful if you provided a list of the OT
post topics that you consider sufficiently on topic so I could ignore
it. Thanks. ;)

What? He's never heard of a little glue and a coupla brads?
Where's his greenness?

Do you go to an event with friends and allow no one to talk about

He wants to see and read OT messages so that he can perform his netcop
duties. Otherwise, he has no raison d'etre.

Of the 28 posts that Twayne responded to in the last 60 days (He did not
initiate any posts in those 60 days and I delete posts more than 60 days
old, so I can't check further), 90% of them were admonishing people for
posting OT messages. A couple of OT posters were not admonished because
he had an interest in the message and responded to them.
The most egregious OT response to a long time and prolific member was
the following exchange.
Robotoy sends

------------------------------
Twayne responds.
Then take some of that "strength" and apply it to relevant groups.
Perhaps run your lazy ego thru a table saw while you're at it.
------------------------------
I have never, in all my years of usenet, ever used personal attacks or
name calling on a poster, but I am going to use one now. Hold on a second...

OK, done.
Sorry for the bad language.

So what's your question? I appreciate your using "OT" but ... it's badly
over-used here, especially since there is nothing, nada, resembling a
question about ANYthing of any kind; only useless verbosty!
Try a group that has something to do with baseball bats where you (gasp!)
will be ON topic! And note that this group's name is NOT "ot"!
Note that I have no vendetta or anything similar toward you; but this group
doesn't need all the "ot" egoes running around it, although you did make a
weak attempt at putting it on topic.
HTH,

A sound mind in a sound body has little to do with the intricacies of the
human condition in this world. A sound mind with a sound body can also be
one simply without a conscience. Like porn, it depends on who's doing the

List of acceptable OTs:
1. Gas prices
2. Home/Shop renovations and maintenance, especially anything electrical
3. Injuries
4. Global warming/cooling (NOT!) -- LOL!
5. Impedance and related words (see #2)
6. Baseball bat statistics (NOT!) -- LOL!
7. Anything shop related, metal working for instance.
8. Tool making
9. Lists of OT dos and dont's
10. Multimedia/youtube links that don't suck!
This is just a start. And please don't take it too seriously, unless
you're posting off-topic. ;)

Why are you talking to this twit as if what he says makes any sense?
Honestly, I've never seen such an idiot as Twayne so full of himself,
yet having so little to contribute.
He's too dull to realize that "OT" in the headers can be used to
filter out all messages not on topic. Hell, even a pet cockroach is
smarter than that.
