Yeah - what gives? I thought we were protected from this sort of OT
stuff.
We have a gentleman's agreement about no politics, and no cursing. No
written rules, that I am aware of. We should probably add to that
agreement, no attachments larger than 100mb.
I suppose whether or not to dispose of Constitutional amendments is
political and as such, should be dropped here, and taken up at
"Banned". When Gary was still here, we did have several good
discussions on firearms, if for no other reason, they can be highly
engineered mechanically intricate pieces, and we here on this list
seem to have an affinity for finely crafted, well engineered things,
such as Mercedes, mechanical watches,and, other things. (Imagine that).

For what it is worth, I am going to respond to this issue. I try to
keep my big mouth shut on issues that don't really apply to me all
that much - like firearms in the USA - since I live in Canada.
However, issues like this tend to cause problems and I think we ought
to avoid problems when we can. We do get off topic and sometimes there
will be a whole lot of response to an off topic item and it will get
pretty boring if one is not interested. The delete key works but
unfortunately, the subject often changes somewhere along the line but
the subject heading does not so one needs to poke around a bit before
deleting if one does not want to get left behind.
I do suggest that we should for the most part stay away from subjects
that tend to make others angry. We have a nice group that participates
on a regular basis and knows a lot about MB cars and many other
things. It truly would be a shame to ruin that by angering people
about issues we should be smart enough to leave alone. You won't
change my mind about a lot of things and I am not likely to change
your mind about many things. We therefore might as well talk about
things that are less likely to pose problems and leave the sticky
issues for another place.
