AFAIK, "fair dinkum" means true or genuine, not "fair game".

For a brief instant in time, we agree. What is the reading on the
Apocalypse Clock?

That's always been the rule of the roffian thumb

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.

good Lord, Allen, I had no clue woodworking got that intense! Seemed a relaxing
outlet to the casual observer.
Thank goodness I hang out in the civilized confines of ROFF!!

It's not any worse than ROFF Tom but it's not unusual for there to be
over 1000 posts a day, how do they do it? They make it up in volume!

Ken "7 iron" Fortenberry pounds the keyboard with this bit of wisdom

And if Big Dale wants to whine about it and storm out of here in a
snit, well hell, that's fair game too. The cuddly masseuse magnet's
love life ? Fair dinkum. This damn computer sucks ? Fair dinkum.
You leftie, flag-burning, faggot-loving, pinko, commie elitists are
leading our beloved U S of A straight to hell in a handbasket ? If
you'd say it on a fishin' trip, you can say it here.

Big Dale is not the only one Kenny, some others have just not anounced it.
I guess my point to Pavlov should have been made more clear, to wit: OT
subjects are mostly benign whines, attempts at humor, or maybe even to
elicit PC type help, jokes, what have you. The ONLY OT subject to cause
arguments and hard feelings has always been politcs. (with the possible
exception of some of GG's posts before he went tits up)
