I'm a lot more tolerant of OT posting and general mayhem on ROFF since
a lot of us have met and shared a cold one around the fire (in the case
of Frank R., a cold one in the cold river). As a consequence my filter
group for ROFF is quite small, 1 regular user (OK and all of Muskies
alias's I find), 46 subjects and two specialty filters that filter out
the porn. Compare this with my filters for Military aviation, 385
subjects, 46 users, 10 specialty filters to filter political crap or
Military Aviation Naval with 36 subjects and 7 users or woodworking
with 390 subjects killed 15 specialty filters and 15 users killed.
If a subject ****es me off enough I'm done with it I simply right click
the mouse and select "kill this subject" but it takes a lot crap from
someone and little benefit for me to select "kill this user" and when I
do that I set the filter to expire in 60 days in case it was a rash
move. On my other groups when you'rE dead to me you're dead to me as
long as you use that addy.

I read ROFF pretty much every day and don't post a hell of a lot and I
suspect most of the folks, at least most of the vocal ones, and I have
wildely divergent opinions on the touchy subjects of the day, US
politics, environment, foreign policy, scotch and beadheads but much
like my in-laws it's just not a good idea for me to discuss them with
family or it just leads to hard feelings and someone waking up with a
whitefish head in their sleeping back at Penns.

Just my 2 cents.
