Welcome back, Jed. I'm hoping for clarification, too, on the appropriateness of discussion regarding the political management of CF, vs the appropriately banned general political discussion.

Regarding this kerfuffle, I wrote to Bill: ". . . If you decide to permanently move the standard toward apolitical postings only, I do not think I have anything worthwhile to contribute. A person running a web page or discussion group has every right to change the standards or focus of the discussion. If you were running a discussion on Japanese grammar, for example, I might well participate. But if you decided to limit the focus to early-Edo period Japanese (circa 1600), while that is a perfectly legitimate topic, I know little about it, so I would withdraw." Regarding the Washington Times author James Robbins, he told me he was serious and not sarcastic about cold fusion. - Jed
