[TheForge] yahoogroups blacksmith lists

[dann]

Dear  "K.A. S." <kassy559@hotmail.com>

Every list seems to go through cycles, with some bickering, but that 
doesn't  usually last.

As long as we refrain from talking about political issues like those  lost 
or damaged packages  (shipping villains  like UPS or USPS or what 
ever),  this is an active,  healthy list.   Sometimes an off  tangent- 
thread can gets really off topic. Of course you always have the option 
to  read only the threads that interest you.  The delete key works well on 
wayward threads  on any interest group list.

There are some very knowledgeable  people that give of their time to help 
others on the list.  There is also a bit of over lap from the hot metal 
list, and the knife maker's list, etc.  and other  lists  which I found as 
a result of comments made on theforge.

Enjoy the cycles of information.
