In response to the list-keeper's question: I'm here mainly for the
political discussion, but there really is far, far too much "chat group"
debating, with long messages that should really be edited, or answered
off the list, and too much personal trashing and arguing.

Aside from that, I appreciate many of the comments, even if they are not
political. Just try to lay off all the personalizing and get to the
issues, folks.
