If you talk about audio in this newsgroup, don't tag on to an off
topic message. You will be ignored (by more than just me).


You aren't forced to read the posts. And politics affect all of us.
Hate the game, not the player. You can filter away the threads just as
easily as the posters.

Whatever. Do what you will, but if you're going to insist on ****ing in
the
pool, don't be surprised that it's annoying to others.

****ing in the pool? How hard is it not to read something?

Regardless of how benign it might seem to you and others, it's still
annoying to the people who find it annoying. I think what compounds that is
that a lot of the people who don't think it's problematic refuse to
acknowledge that those offended might have a valid position.

My point isn't to police the OT threads, but that it shouldn't be surprising
when people object to them.


These threads obviously have to do with the elections that were supposed
to
be 'the most important ever" or whatever.
They will die down soon enough and we can beat the ol' digital versus
analog
crap again... or feel superior over someone asking "what mic is best for
under $200".

I hope so, I think. It not like the daily "best mic for under $200" barrage
was that much better. Oh well.
