Default Too neat to waste...

Keith's stuff is on-topic, interesting, and entertaining. What he's doing is
right in line with the spirit of the 'rec' part of the group's name.
Regarding your "flowery" remark, Keith is one of the most skilled users of
language in here. Maybe you just don't understand why he does it, or why
people come to this (or any other) group. Seems to me that you expect this
to be a place where the discourse is dry and factual, where only equipment
of a certain standard is worthy.

You don't have to read his stuff, and you don't have to whine about it,
either.
