How about a new group? lugnet.off-topic.Larry&Scott

I don't mind the nitpicking between the two, so long as I don't have to deal
with it regularly. They are the main reason I stay out of .Debate. How can I
defend a point when the group gets flooded with twenty It's-not-me-it's-him
posts? (that's rhetorical, by-the-way) No sense trying...

Now I just stick to a smaller section of Lugnet where they don't hang out.
It's calmer, quieter and the information value per post is higher.

T-Bird, I came across this post kind of accidentally. I wasn't going to reply but then I figured I should publicly voice my support for what you said. You know, I made the foolish mistake of getting into these fruitless debates. LUGNET is supposed (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.admin.general) !
