Derby, there are many places where politics and political humor can be discussed among those who wish to do so.
I have participated in other internet groups that once were lively and dynamic, and provided a valuable exchange of information and ideas, but have been torn apart by the injection of "off-topic" political diatribes and arguments. Those fora still exist, but the levels of participation and enthusiasm are but a fraction of what they once were. I have no desire to be a censor. Please note that I did not object to the posts, but only requested that any posts that deviate into political commentary be clearly marked as "OT:". I thought that a reasonable enough request. Your mileage may vary. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 5:54 AM, Derby Chang <der...@iinet.net.au> wrote: > > Dan, I have to make a comment.
