You got pluck gurl!

Re: [CGUYS] Politics Hour
I was thinking about that...maybe every topic/thread with a header in the subject 'politics' or we could even branch out to 'movies' or something.

[CGUYS] Politics Hour
i have no interest in the politics being discussed on this list. could the political discussion crowd agree on at least one thing. use a topic subject so i can dump all this stuff into spam before i have to trash it and them dump it. my recommended subject heading would be rush. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
