Allow me to clear this up for every one.
While each group does have a specific topic we WILL allow
related postings.
After all we are more than the simple topic of a specific
group.
We DO actually BUILD things with these machines do we not ??
It is that building of other things that has brought us here
in the first place.
Groups that are tightly controlled on subject matter are
usually dead...
So the occasional "off topic" subjects are what keeps us in
contact and alive during the slow times.
Any one having group specific topics is always welcome to post.
Any one who does not like a specific subject is free to
start another one or use their delete key.
Any one with a complaint as to group content is free to
contact me OFF LIST !!!
Having said this there are 3 subjects that are prohibited.
Adult (sex), politics, religion.
There are way to many places to get your daily fill of these
topics -- not here...
Any questions ?? Contact me off line and I will clear them up..
Thank you
Chris (CB)
Group owner...

Once I brought up Gingery it is amazing that those who were waiting in the wings seemed to come out of the woodwork again. I've seen this happen several times in the past and it even caused me to edit and retreat from this site. I was asked to rejoin by Clint before he past away, and I try to be a good lurker and ignore posts that I have no value in reading but........

>> Like I said your articles are great but when they seemingly take away from the site, so those who need the help or want to show off what they can do seem to lurk in the background. I'm off my soapbox and since I'm not the site owner or moderator I will bow to your need to post. My hopes will be that those who want to say something about Gingery machines will speak up, and yes other metal related stuff is good also
