Hey guys, some of us believe the people should work for the Government and

This has gone on long enough. Politics are not an appropriate list topic as has
been pointed out numerous times in the past, and of late have overshadowed
nearly everything else.
Take it somewhere else, folks. There will be no further warnings. Posting
political topics will get you moderated.
Hey,Folks!

a left wing engineer on another list. Have fun!

You're trying to avoid "politics" by talking about MBCA?

overwhelmingly affluent (Republican) and has its own share of internal

I don't like most of the ones in the late 90's. The C-class after the

Banned (from what I've heard) is not everyone's cup of tea as an
alternative for off-topic subjects. Other attempts in the past to spin
