I have only just joined this group, but have noticed a significant rise
in off-topic posts that really detract from what is otherwise an
excellent place to learn and talk about optics. While I'm sure people
who post these non-optic, non-scientific posts feel that they are
important they are not what the majority of the people come here to
read. If the topics are that important to the poster then surely he or
she should take the time and trouble to find the best place to discuss
them..... A groups called "Sci-optic" is not one.... I guess what I
am asking for is that off-topic posts are deleted.... Is this
possible?

Err... welcome to Usenet. No, it is not really possible, sorry.

I think you are right in that there has been a recent surge in
off-topic posts. Hopefully it will die away again, sci.optics usually
has a high signal-to-noise ratio.
