Hi. I'm a little bit confused about your posts, and I'm kind of new
here - maybe you can help clarify something for me.

It seems that you only write about political matters and don't have
much to say about construction. I thought the idea of all of these
different newsgroups was to have topics and more or less stick to
them. From my understanding, if someone wants to post something off
topic they're supposed to start the Subject line with OT.

So why are you posting something that has nothing to do with
construction?

If someone wants to post something off topic, they're _SUPPOSED TO_
restrain themselves from doing so and/or go to a forum for which it
would be on topic. (RFC 1855, www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html)

RM is simply a troll. While I have been baited a time or two, I
generally can manage to restrain myself... :)

Best bet would simply be to set a filter in your newsreader...

Most likely, the best thing to do, is to not feed the animals(raccoons,
bears, squirrels and Ron) and they will go away.
