I agree with you and Fred. 
What is the harm in us sharing and directing our efforts together ?
The so called "noise" is what I am sure has gathered the attention of
many persons. I for one, am unable to commit any significant capital
investment or time for my interest in robotics. I have sensed a great deal
of excitement in this newsgroup. And rightfully so, robotics is a facinating
field. If we can bear with the occasional posts, and wait this out, I am
sure that when a large contingent has assembled their miniboards we will 
start to see a lot of "ROBOTIC" related topics.

I believe that this "noise" is constructive and is not the same "noise"
that plagues other newsgroups. I hope that others feel the same.
