I agree completely. Folks, let's keep this on-topic. If you need to
have political discussions with people, please do that direct and not
via this list. There are roughly 900 subscribers on this list and I'm
sure I'm not the only one who doesn't care about this stuff.

While I like the idea of more messages flowing in the list than there
was in the past, let's at least do each the courtesy of keeping it on
topic. Posting "I know this off topic but..." is not acceptable. If
it's off-topic, either don't reply or reply direct and *not* to the
list.

Thanks.

I trust this is the last time we have to talk about off-topic posts.
I *really* don't want to turn this into a moderated list simply to
keep it on topic.
