ROFL. Nice try, Geoff.
Especially considering your post is off-topic.
Might I suggest "alt.whine"?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Geoff. First of all, it you
pronounce your name Jeff, how come you spell it Geoff? Shouldn't it be
pronounced Geee off ?
Anyway, getting back to the off topic topic, as I do want to stay on topic,
your help is needed. I've been after these guys for a long time to stay on
topic, but they just don't listen. What we really need is a moderator for
the group. it would greatly improve things. I'm thinking, you could be the
moderator. Nothing would get posted unless you saw fit to have it posted.
The last guy that I asked to do this never replied. I even gave him some
good ideas on getting business cards printed, and even a uniform whit brown
shirts. I sure hop you are up to the task and get these guys in line so
they stop the off topic posting. Most of the people here are decent people
(I'm not sure about JOAT though, he's ornery) but they need your guidance.
Thanks for stepping in.

[slaps forehead] Doh! Ed, you're right! I'd have never thought of this!
Thank goodness Geoff brought this to our attention; and all this time I
thought we were just a bunch of woodworkers discussing woodworking and
having the occasional chat/rant about other stuff that we found interesting
while the glue was drying. We all owe Geoff a salute of gratitude for
pointing out what has been wrong all along and we just didn't see it.
OTOH, it will be kind of a shame to pull all those old oak barrels off the
porch that we used to sit around. Ah well, time to buck up, after all,
this is a *serious* newsgroup *only* to be used for woodworking. Thanks
again Geoff for setting us all straight.
