I've been sticking around. I'm not new to the Usenet, just this group. I
have noticed, however, some exceptionally rude postings from time to time.

Yup, some people seem to hang around here with the sole purpose
to rile people up or simply to offend. Quite sad (pathetic, or
perhaps pathological?) how they crave attention. After a while
these posters (and other resident cooks) become obvious, and
you'll learn to ignore their posts. Along the same line, you'll
recognize who tries to make useful contributions and always try
to read their posts. I could name names .. but I'm not :-)

Anyways, clear skies, and let's hear how those binoculars work
out for you once you get a chance to try them out.
