My point exactly. The way the Strib covers the local news is perfect for the list; the way it covers national news is not. If you can't find enough examples to support your point in local, it's probably not a good point to make on this list. Not everything every locally based organization does is a Minneapolis issue. The important thing is Minneapolis issue, not someone's Minneapolis mailing address. David Brauer List manager TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
