Oh, this NG has been great for me and it is the nature of interactions
sometimes to get a bit out of control at times.
No NG is immune to it. You would be surprised to see what a few telescope
makers can throw at each other on occasion in that newsgroup! It all works
out, however because the NG's purpose is to share the knowledge.
Cheers!
