OK, only going to reply to one of these but can we keep the political

I will risk making myself (even more) unpopular by saying that I don't
mind these kinds of messages. But that's just me.
However, it is clear that, historically speaking, the LUG list has not
been a place for political discussions, even when
those discussions would likely be of interest to a large subset of the
LUG list members. OTOH, the Internetworkers
list seems to have a lot of overlap with the LUG list and political talk
is not uncommon there. So I'll suggest that
if one wants to start a conversation on this topic, INW might be a
better list.
Unless somebody thinks we need a whole new mailing list for this region,
to discuss "techno-politics" or whatever
you want to call it. If anybody thinks such a thing would be useful,
I'll volunteer to host it.
I understand that this has privacy concerns but what do either of the
threads posted have to do with linux?
Well, many ISPs use Linux, and some (many?) LUG members work for such
ISPs? There's always
been a strong bond between the "unix / linux world" and the "internet
world."
TTYL,
Phil
