Certainly over the years I have been one of the big contributors to the political posts on this list, and while I remain passionate about free speech, I feel just as passionate that this list remain a safe and welcoming place for everyone. It saddens me that so many of our long- time members have chosen to go "Joni-only" because of the overwhelming number of political/war posts. With this concern, and with the hope that those same folks will come back to the "whole" list, I am hereby withdrawing from further political discussions on the Joni Mitchell Discussion List. There are other places for us to discuss politics to our hearts content, one of them being http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jmdlpc/, which Les thoughtfully set up for us back in October. (And you know there may be more!) Anyone care to join me? Lori
