Team.net is a "free speech" forum. What people choose to talk
about is often strange, but it's their choice. I like it that
way, even though I don't take an interest in every subject being
discussed.

Check the archives. I believe you'll see pretty quickly that a
very wide variety of subjects, with varying degrees of
seriousness and relevance, are discussed in any given time
period.

There's always the "Delete" key. Works for me.

Ahem, you mean "spin control?" I'll pass on that. I imagine most
of the other netters will do likewise, but you'll have to ask
them. ;<)
In any case, what's wrong with an aura having negative polarity?
You got something against electrons? ==8<0
Team.net is NOT autox, it's just a place where people communicate
about (more or less) autox-related subjects. Usually when they
should be working.
