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.
