This has always been an "interesting place", kinda like a Toys R Us on
Xmas Eve around 11pm =)

I've learned to ignore most of the threads that are OBVIOUSLY OT by
simply reading the Subject line, because for the most part, they aren't
worth my time. Periodically, I will stop and read the first and one or
two contributed responses from those whose rantings I find especially
"entertaining", but I never bother getting up set over any of it anymore.

On a personal level, I could care less what most of these folks think
about things other than fly fishing, because that's why I signed on to
this NG... if I want opinions about politics, I'll seek them out from
individuals whose opinions I appreciate on either side of the issue,
because I know their "set of values" and where they're coming from.

I don't know most of the people here from Adam, so why would I get my
feathers ruffled over their opinions? If others choose to hang around
this virtual water cooler and get bitch slapped for voicing their
opinions on an issue, that's their choice... no one has to stand by and
watch it, just read the messages and threads that mean something to you
and ignore the rest... it doesn't take than much effort to sort by
subject, read what you want and "Mark all as Read" when you're done.
