Has the spammer ran everyone off?

Seems that no one is posting anything lately outside of underpriced replica
crap.

Just ignore it, or get a decent newsreader.

Well I finally bothered to setup message rules with OE, I am still figuring
out what keywords to add but it is helping.

With a bette rnewsreader you probably would hardly notice them even
without filtering. Try X-news. When they show up on my reader, they're
all in one clump, usually, and one swift delete move and theyre all
gone.

YOU might consider posting some on-topic articles to help improve the
newsgroup signal-to-noise ratio. Just a thought....

I got nothing interesting to say, you? I find it best to lurk then comment
on others trials and tribulations.

1. Haven't seen much of interest.
2. Have seen way too much sniping and namecalling. Seems like most
legitimate discussion threads degenerate into a spitting match.
3. Have had to put up with a few posers who obviously know nothing
worthwhile but try to convince us they do, and just get nasty when
their errors are pointed out. Even with proof that they're wrong,
they're still right.
4. Have to weed through all the spam. Pages of it. I use Google and
they aren't doing anything about it. I can't be bothered to spend
valuable time trying to figure out other ways to stop it. Got way too
many other projects on the go, including a Citabria re-covering job.

Valid points, but why aren't you posting about your Citabria project? My
favorite little fun airplane!

It's part of my job, but things like fabric and painting--
especially painting--tend to spill over into all hours. Paint. Wait
for it to dry. Paint. Wait. Wet-sand. Paint. Wet-sand some more.
Paint. Wait. Paint. Wait. You get the idea. It doesn't fit at all well
into the eight-hour day, and I get little done unless I go down at odd
hours and shoot another coat so it'll dry and I can shoot more than
one a day. These jobs can take forever, and it's why there are few
tube-and-rag airplanes still being built.
I work at the airport, and the paint shop is off-airport, so
I'm forever driving back and forth. The paint shop is a couple blocks
away from home, the airport 2 1/2 miles away.
If it ever quits snowing here I'll be cycling to work and
trying to wear off the winter fat. The days are getting longer, with
the sun coming up pretty early at this latitude. And then I can cycle
to work at 6 AM through the nice spring fields in the cool of the day
and clear skies and morning sunshine and hear the birds and see the
deer and go flying in my own airplane before work.
Then I work on airplanes all day, fly them some, teach a
class.
I can hear the groans from the guys who drive an hour to work
through the smog and noise and road rage and get to sit in a stuffy
office all day and put up with office politics. They'd love to trade
places. I'd love to have their paycheck. Life is so often a bunch of
tradeoffs.
