This is just part of a real life situation. If you cant stand the heat, get out
of the LUG

You mean, only 2 to 3 members should join in the conversation?. The rest shut
up?

Just use your delete button. Smart LUGers can identify the contents on the
Subject Line.

To stop it from being a waste of time, I suggest, from now on, you set the
topic.This way we all know, what we are allowed to discuss and what is taboo.

However going back and reading your mail again, I suggest it would be a the most
boring forum.
