Been hitting mass delete a TON lately. I was going to suggest that anything political gets prepended with POLITICAL: simply to make it super easy to delete the “stuff”. But, that’s just my opinion and not my list.

There's usually 2-3 months of lead up time to a vote being called, in which the political parties get all their stuff organized and ready just in case. Then the actual election/campaign period goes for between 25 to 45 days, maximum. Then there's a vote, and we have a new government.

I personally enjoy it, I have thick skin, per another thread, but I am concerned it could turn south. This is the only industry mechanism I have for quick and dirty advice so I am fearful it could devolve into something ugly or useless like dslreports. When Chuck ran the list there was a bit more policing, stay away from religion or politics. I assume others got the offlist spankings I got. I'm not bashing the current list owner, I enjoy the occasional freedom to rant. What I am fearful of is losing the best resource I have for a vendor neutral discussion of on topic issues. I'm not asking that the off topic political discussion stop, or any other off topic discussion for that matter, I do request however that everybody come to a consensus that we are all adults with different backgrounds and opinions who can disagree and still work together effectively. This is solely a self serving request as I an very much incompetent for my position and rely heavily on advice from this list to impress my boss so he continues to give me a paycheck he could probably pay a comatose midget who only wakes up long enough to swear to do the same level of work.
