THIS group IS moderated, however, and I assume the moderators will take action WELL before it becomes detrimental. You've probably noticed the (welcome) lack of spam and political rants here.
alt.machines.cnc has been a wildly political, rant-filled and ad hominem group for a decade, with a couple specific generators of huge amounts of venom. Still, it is the hangout of the "serious, production" machinists, and it sometimes contains some really interesting discussions of high-end machines, controls and tooling. R.C.M has indeed gone downhill, sadly, but is still quite useful for those really ODD questions that come up so often related to cars, home repairs, small shop machining and tooling, and various things I can afford to tinker with. I can't afford Sandvik-Coromant $100 diamond inserts in my shop! And, thank God I don't make stuff out of Inconel.
