I think, that despite the calls for not discussing issues like this on this list, it is apparently too much asked to refrain from responding for people who feel so strong about the issue discussed, one way or the other. I can understand that, we are all human, although I don't agree. Can we at least put in the subject 'politics', so I can filter these messages out? That would prevent me from leaving this otherwise great list.
