The odd satellite radio postings to this group are relatively
infrequent compared to the endless idiotic political ranting. Indeed,
with satellite radio, there is some degree of topic overlap in that a
number of the major international broadcasters can be heard on
satellite radio. I myself would not come to rec.radio.shortwave to
start a thread on a satellite radio related topic, but if someone else
does, I have no reason to get irritated over it. If someone is
interested in the given topic, then let 'em respond to it. If not,
delete, ignore, and get on with your life. We have to wade through a
lot of rubbish on this group as it is with the "Nuclear Nightmare"
and "Bring 'Em On" nonsense. And as such threads as these
demonstrate, there's a big appetite for off topic trash in this
group. Let's face it, amending some charter or any other such
measures is an utter waste of time. The fact of the matter is that
periodic satellite radio related postings would continue to emerge, as
would the deluge of other off-topic postings. The instigators would
continue to instigate; the ranting types would continue to rant.
It's what they enjoy doing: whether it's in giving their stern
disapproval to satellite radio or in displaying their mindless
political views. Enjoy the banter, folks. This is usenet.
