If it's off-topic enough that you know to change the subject,
then take it elsewhere.

I should have posted last night before all the other carpetbaggers
came out of the woodwork, but foolishly hesitated.

You have no history here, yet you pounce the minute someone posts
about CW, someone who has been here a long time. And then a bunch
of others suddenly appear, even though they don't post about building
amateur radio equipment here.

There is rec.radio.amateur.policy and rec.radio.amateur.misc and
even rec.radio.amateur.moderated where you can have your debates
to your heart's content. And surely you and the other carpetbaggers
would fit in better there, since you don't have anything to say
about building radios.

This is not the first time you pouncers have landed here. The last
time I remember it happening, the one idiot even cross-posted his
reply to rec.radio.amateur.antennas, even though the topic fit
neither newsgroup. I didn't read the newsgroup for a month after
that, even though I've been reading and posting here for over a decade.

It's idiots like you that kill the newsgroups, seeing offtopic posts
as perfectly fine, while those who want to talk about what the newsgroup
is about slowly disappear.

Keep the trash out of here, you and the other carpetbaggers.
