I that the "POLITICS" header for the threads being discussed lately
is a GREAT idea!
I've noticed that this list wanders off into political subjects from
time to time, but generally wanders back into computer topics after
awhile--usually after everybody has figured out what everybody else
thinks about a given topic (and everybody gets thoroughly bored with
it).
Since we're in a political and economic situation that's, well, kind
of important right now, it's not surprising that it's taking people
longer to get tired of political topics on the list.
So a "POLITICS" header could be useful while we get back to more
purely computer-related issues.
This would also help list members who are pressed for time and who
want only computer-related posts during a busy work day.
Oddly enough, I DO have time right now to read political posts,
because I'm sidelined for the moment. I'm currently recovering (I
hope) from surgery for a broken wrist.
I'd like to hear from any list members who have also had broken
wrists or arms, and how long it took before you could use BOTH HANDS
on a computer keyboard again, what you did by way of therapy, what
helped, what not to do, etc.
Because ANYBODY can fall on the ice (I didn't think I was going to
fall until I was halfway down) and IT'S A REAL DRAG TYPING AN EMAIL
WITH JUST ONE HAND, when you're used to two!!!!!!

i have no interest in the politics being discussed on this list.
could the political discussion crowd agree on at least one thing.
use a topic subject so i can dump all this stuff into spam before i
have to trash it and them dump it.
my recommended subject heading would be rush.
