We are all somewhat uptight about coronavirus whether we admit it or not. We might say things and do things that irritate other members as a result. When controversies arise, we should keep that in mind. Gerry...my 2 cents Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: > Let me clear up a few things here. Political topics are not allowed on > the MB list.

Re: [MBZ] ADMIN message from the owner
OT messages are fine with me. Otherwise I would have little interest in this list because most posts address cars much newer (or older) than my 82 SD. I would plead for descriptive subject lines when able. Concerning the pandemic, it is telling us a lot about what works and what doesn't. That may sound cold but I was trained as a mishap investigator (among other things). > -Original Message- > From: Andrew Strasfogel > > I posted that off topic article only to let people know about the spread of > coronavirus into areas where some list members live..

Re: [MBZ] ADMIN message from the owner
It's political because people are getting very hurt economically by layoffs and losing businesses, watching their retirement savings evaporate, wondering if they are going to lose their house, and all the while and listening to hysterical reporting and statements by people who have no medical or epidemiological training and don't seem to have any perspective.

Let me clear up a few things here. Political topics are not allowed on the MB list. I would love to talk about my love for Trump all day long but it is not happening here. Just about any other topic is fine. It is NOT a MB only talk list, never has been. Due to the constant problems with political posts coming up, I decided to create a new list for those sorts of conversations. We used to have a list like that, there was no traffic so I deleted it. Okietalk is in NO WAY intended to be a replacement for the MB list. It seems for some reason that some have the idea that this is the case. I am disgusted with the snide comments as of late about MB being a cabinets only list etc. I thought we were bigger than this. I thought this new list would allow normal conversation to return to the MB list but it appears to be having the opposite effect. I have hosted these lists for about 15 years now out of my own pocket. If it is going to resort to this sort of behavior, I will just shut the whole thing down and move on.
