Ah good tip.
To Bill’s point a little moderation is good for the pool water.

If you make a filter you also won't receive any of the responses to his posts.

He's one of the three, so this conversation is one of those that is
confusing and slightly entertaining.

If you're using gmail Terry, you can include his email and the word
"Hydrogen" or any other to a filter and those threads won't be in your
email any more. Here's a link.

Terry:
I have to agree with Troy.
The well named Mr. Fink is not someone who should be posting to this
list—whilst he is plainly at least amateurish, he is no amateur rocket
builder—and were this list properly curated he would have been blocked
long ago.
All of which is intended to observe that the problem here may be with the
moderation—or lack thereof—of the list.
You are too valuable a resource to this community to lose over so easily
solved a problem: I speak out of turn here, but perhaps you would consider
becoming moderator of this list? Few seem to me better qualified....

I really hope you change your mind Terry. You're definitely one of the
reasons many of us are on here. These are trying times, no doubt about
it, but hang in there.
Cheers,

A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.

I've been on Arocket for almost as long as it's been in existence.
Probably
longer than some people on the list have been alive. There's been lots
of good
information, and some garbage posts. But I'm damn tired of hearing
about
how hydrogen is the bestest fuel, good for rockets, airplanes,
fireworks(?!?!?)...probably should be a daily dietary supplement. It's
almost as
tiresome as listening to a certain US president...
I know, I can always delete posts. But each such post is an annoyance,
especially when the poster is a fanatic by Churchill's quote. And with
everything going on in the US right now, I certainly don't need any more
annoyance in my life.
I'll miss hearing about real rocketry from people who do real rocketry
(rather
than those who pretend). But the annoyance factor has finally
overshadowed
the utility -- at least for me; I don't know about anyone else.
And all you real rocketeers, keep plugging. Don't blow yerself up.
