Because the jingoistic parts of the discussion were mixed in among a musically interesting parts -- the offensive posts weren't specially marked as "FROM AN UGLY AMERICAN" (well, at least, not until the point when I identified exactly which posters were polluting the discussion). I called for an end to the discussion after having read only a handful of offensive posts, well before the discussion was half over. Musically off-topic discussions I'd support on the list. Political discussions simply don't belong on the list. And it was the musical part of the discussion that was worth reading. -- David W.
