Dearest Faith, I suspect you received the same mail from Bill Keen that I did. It was sent to us privately, however, and not through the silver list.
Politics and religion are thoroughly prohibited topics on the silver list for the obvious reason that people cannot discuss them without nearly instant degeneration into arguments and flames. The only exceptions to the prohibition are items of politics directly related to CS or important alternative health news, and, in terms of religion, the occasional passing reference, offers of blessings, or requests for prayers that most people indulge in without the appearance of purposeful evangelization. Please discuss it on the Off Topic List, if you like, but let's not respond to this posting here at all, folks! Thank you.
