I didnt mean any hostilities either, it was a genuine question. Its did
seem strange to me that something like this bill is not discussed on a
newsgroup like this. Nothing has been brought forward about it at all. I
am not really sure why its turned into a flame.
Sad really,
John,.

Apologies Alan, I did not mean any hostility in my response to your

I'm not the only one.
Since I see you are using gmail, assuming that you are accessing your
mail through the standard interface, there is a function to 'Mute'
conversations if you prefer to be excluded from responses to the
thread. I use the function frequently with mailing lists. You may
already know about it, just pointing it out.

Blimey - It wasn't intended to be "such a negative response". That is
why I phrased my message the way I did.
I have heard and read a great deal about the debill over the past few
months, have written to my MP on several occasions and am a
politically
interested individual with my own opinions. I didn't however,
think that
the Ubuntu UK mailing list was the most appropriate forum for
discussing
more general politics - which is what this thread had morphed into.
Clearly I was wrong. ;-)
