Michael, I agree that political discourse has no place on the ARSList. However, what I find offensive is that you didn't mind making your own political statement: "Particularly when items are cribbed from self-proclaimed equal opportunity offender, Neal Boortz" before telling everyone else not to do it.
Are you saying if the item had been "cribbed" from someone else that it would have been more acceptable? Your post is no better than the initial post that started the discussion. I believe Dwayne's post probably reflected the thoughts of 99% of the ARSList and needed no "seconding," especially when the intent of the post was probably so that you could make your "political statement." And yes the Neal Boortz statement definitely carries political undertones.

In the interest of social harmony and facilitating technical discussion, I second Dwayne's suggestion. As opposed to being left-wing or right-wing, I'd like to think that we're all top-flight IT professionals. =) Michael -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dwayne Martin Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 3:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: OT: Friday - no humor I would like to suggest that we NOT debate politics and/or religion on the ARSList.
