The caving community, like many other special interest groups, is largely composed of humorless fools who take their absurd pursuits seriously. Let me remind you again that we are talking about crawling into holes in the ground, something that most rational persons would consider to be insane. As Stefan has pointed out, more verbiage has been wasted on complaints than on the original offending off topic comments by one of our more colorful albeit crackpot commentators. A far greater problem is those who find some particular posting to be irrelevant and complain about the time required to read it who then proceed so simply "Reply" to the list without editing out the replies to the replies to the replies. It has been repeatedly suggested that those who do not wish to read a post simply delete it. I would go further and request that before responding you delete all the truly irrelevant repetitive information that dangles from the end of your post like a snottite. Please note that in this reply I have quoted nothing other than the title of the offending post. I personally think that Charles has done a great job of moderating this forum, he is even more moderate than Obama! I would request of him that he remove from this list any and all persons who repeatedly reply to this list without truncating the appended gibberish including all those who include some signature drivel at the end such as a quote from some famous person or a statement of their personal beliefs. As to those who voluntarily leave the list because of a lack of time or some imagined insult good riddance! You've got plenty of time otherwise you wouldn't have time to talk about crawling into holes in the ground. In other words, always cut out the crap, never fail to sign your posts, and never append any unnecessary nonsense after your name. Like this. Sleazeweazel In a message dated 7/9/2016 12:00:22 P.M.
