....you people obliterated Hilton's message with a stream of off-topic
political blather.

Maybe you should reinstall Outlook Express, seeing as how your copy of it
is so broken that you aren't able to junk a thread.

I don't post to you very often for obvious reasons, but I'll suggest to
you that the man has a point. In fact, I was going to post something
similar and decided at the last second because of the people involved I'd
pass on it.
The problem isn't "junking the thread". The problem is that this thread
creeped into a political bash and in doing so, left the stated purpose of
the group, which I believe is aviation and not politics.
I've seen several fine newsgroups destroyed in this manner and I'm sure
that you along with the others who enjoy this group wouldn't like to see
that happen here.
You personally were not the culprit in this case, but you helped establish
the "mood" for what the poster you have answered so bluntly tried to
express. You simply used an unnecessary political analogy that was of
course picked up by the next poster under you. it was this that
established the creep, and the thread ran away with it; completely off
topic and of course devoted from that point on with political opinion and
bashing.
Just so you understand where I'm coming from personally on this, I'll tell
you that I'm not the Internet Police, and if you people want to bash away
with your political opinions on this aviation group, so be it. I'm not the
least bit bothered by it, nor am I disturbed in any way.
Its YOUR newsgroup. I'm only passing on my observations to those who might
not desire that this group be lost to political agenda based dialog.
What you folks do here is your business. FWIW, I strongly suggest that all
of you take a step back and think for a moment before you use political
comment on your newsgroup. I'd not like to see this group go the way of so
many others on Usenet.
Thank you
