is to rid the site of the inevitable spam. We are not TR employees, we are volunteers. We only delete non-spam posts in the case of abusive language, profanity, or persistent personal attacks, and, in those cases, we usually let Tammy, the lead moderator (and a CBS Interactive employee), make the final decision.

A common statement about the purpose of TR is that it is a site for tech, but it is also a site for techs. We not only discuss tech here, we also discuss subjects of interest to techs. These subjects have included politics, religion, economics, science, music, and even art. Your opinion is welcome and you are free to join in at any time.
