Don't hold your breath, but if you want to be regarded as an improvement
to the group, don't start any off-topic threads and try not to get
hooked into them. That can be difficult, I know.

If you want to talk about your dead pet, your sick pet, politics,
computer problems, or the latest Ole and Lena joke, there are
appropriate groups for that. In theory, the rfc chat room was
established for off topic chatter but recently some of *their* junk got
dragged over here! Go figure. LOL! Have you read the r.f.c. FAQ
file? Victor Sack posts a link regularly and frequently (a couple times
a month? Once, for sure.).

Welcome to the fray. I haven't received your membership application and
entry fee yet and I believe the bylaws state that you're not allowed to
post until the Cabal (TINC) has approved your request for membership.
