rec.woodworking logo

Can someone explain why the group logo on Google is a basketball, a
baseball and a baseball bat? The bat, of course, is wood, but making
bats does not seem to be something that members of this group have
much interest in doing. Just wondering...

I saw on a news report last November that Obama won and Bush lost.
Maybe you missed that? There are many wood workers in this NG but so
far as I can discern, they keep partisan rhetoric out of the workshop
and postings on topic.

It must be nice where you live.

The most considerate thing that the political folks can do is to clearly
mark the thread so that others can easily avoid that sort of thing.

The only bats in this group are those loose in the belfry of the Bush
apologists.

Keep in mind that Google has *nothing* to do with this newsgroup (well,
outside of hosting it on their broken web interface and totally fucking
things up with their spam portal). If you don't know, this is a Usenet
newsgroup. Usenet existed long before Google came along.

I see you're reading this through Google Groups. Usenet was made to be
accessed with a news client (most email programs handle that), as
[insert name of deity here] intended.
