Hi John,
As I tried to make clear, the moderator, that's me, doesn't have the time to read every post even if I am responsible for keeping their content relevant.
I was asking for help of the "TekScopes Elders" who have been here for so long that they have an intrinsic ability to judge when something has drifted off topic and the skill to gently nudge it back to Tektronix.

I would think that it's the moderator's responsibility and no one else
(elders or otherwise) to filter the various threads. There are certain
topics that are completely off topic like politics and should be
cutoff.
But, there are others that are technical and very informative which are
gleaned from years of experience that allow us to pick up information
that is very helpful. I welcome those. So, you need to have a jeweler's
eye!

Bit odd you bring this up now when I just got through posting in a
thread about 2 sided boards, and that went into some other things. My
experience, someone else about car radios using the same
manufacturing
methods and all, one with their own stereo unit the fixed by fixing a
2 sided board.
Now there's some thread drift forya, but it is still pertinent to the
subject. Of course WW2 is not. I have a group and I was thinking what
I would do. I would probably get in there and say "this one can
slide,
but anymore of this political shit and we are talking action, I do
not
want it here". And that it makes enemies easier than it makes
friends.
But now there is the Fluke 3300 thread. That is not a Tek scope. I
have no problem with it, I think maybe they could have been spurred
on
to my group but there are not enough members now to be sure to get
anything good back. If that is close enough to on topic fine. Good
that you don't want to stifle.
I think the thing here is that in moderating these, you can't just
grind a line into concrete. That's why we have human moderators. (and
judges and
whatever)
You could send some to my group, which I made specifically for other
test equipment. But I don't want anyone forced. I don't want to force
anyone to do anything. Not the WW2 thing though.
Put it this way, I may respond in threads that go political, but I
will never start one. I have more respect than that.
