Steve, I'm under the impression that some participants continue to debate whether politics of any kind are acceptable within vortex-l prime. If so that would mean many of your valuable contributions would be considered inappropriate as well. I have just posted another topic, a proposal to consider the creation of a new discussion group, Vortex-LoT [VoT] for the specific purpose of discussing OT views that may have possibly originated within vortex-l prime [Vo]. But with one major difference from [VoB]: The new [VoT] group would be where the same netiquette rules apply. Please see: "Discussion/Debate: Creating [VoT] to handle OT discussions" And please feel free to comment, pro or con, on the matter. I'm just trying to find out if some might think that such a proposal could turn out to be a good solution...or not. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
