Do you have your lists mixed up? I didn't want anyone to get the impression that PLUG was swaying things. It is likely SLLUG that is limiting political discussion - isn't it? This list will remain unmoderated. Please see my post on the subject for more details. If you think Ron Paul is relevant to the Open Source community - post away - just be sure you have your asbestos underwear on. :) If you stick on the list for a while you learn these types of threads happen frequently. That - and a top posting thread which we haven't had a good flame on in a while. Or a Java versus everything flame thread. Or a reply-to thread. The list goes on and on. This is what I _love_ about PLUG. You don't have to be worried if something you post is going to offend someone. You just _know_ it will, and do it anyway! :-) Maybe we should give PLUG the official motto: "Plug in to what's HOT in open source." Or maybe this one: "What happens on the list, stays on the list." Hrm, I think that one is already taken by the Las Vegas LUG. </cheese> -Ryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
