Hi folks, I wish to remind everyone...
First, as a general rule, items that are off topic can and should be explored briefly, but need to be wound down or diverted to other forums or private e-mail after a day or so. Current examples of this are the structured water and magnetics threads. This is not a place to hold lengthy discussions on things not related to CS. Secondly, with the quadrennial major elections in the United States just a week away, a little political bleedover is nearly irresistable. Please resist the best you can, however! Thank you! Politics is one of the "big three" prohibited discussion topics, along with Religion and Commercial Promotion. Specifically, the discussion of our FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has generated scattered references to Libertarian Party candidates and platform, some traffic on the (il)legal status of the IRS, plus general grousing about the US (and other) government policies. These side-track comments are outside the limits. Even the FDA related remarks, though generally on-topic, still need to be taken off list at some point when they've been covered adequately. As *INTERESTING* as all that stuff is to a few of us, I am uncomfortable hearing references to political parties and candidates on the list, even from my fellow Libertarians! (Hi guys!) Many of our members are not interested in hearing about American politics, or any politics, on the list. Others will be offended because they support some *other* candidate, party or policy. All-in-all it gets too deep too fast with the risk of a flame-fest. I ask everyone to moderate their own input to keep things civil and reasonably harmonious. As ever, I don't want to hafta pick up that big stick I keep nearby. <glare> You're a remarkable group, folks. I never stop learning from you. May we continue to be so blessed. Be well, Mike (glad the elections will be over soon!)
