No, I have my filters & killfiles set and I don't see the tantrums either.
It's just that for the most part there isn't as much meaningful content, and
the hijackers have pretty much ruined this group for anyone on the outside
looking in. Imagine if you just came to this group in the last few months
and saw all this crap, would you want to hang around? Of course not. One of
the great things about our sport is being able to share, and to be honest I
would be embarrassed to recommend this group to someone new, knowing the
****storm it has become.

Maybe I'll check in once in a while and see if things have improved, but for
now I'll stay in alt.trucks.ford and ramjaw.org.

Hats off to you guys & gals who plan to ride out the storm.
