Ok, cool. Sorry if I came off as rude or callous... I was just typing and not thinking I guess. No harm meant.
I agree with your point on the subject line. I many other groups, the Prefix 'OT' is inserted into a thread subject line that is offbeat or off topic. Then people know. I find that to be a good practice.

You're asking me to ignore a thread in a TREO group whose subject is "Treo 800w" wherein they're discussing politics. 2. I also use e-mail to follow the group, not the yahoo website. 3. If we follow your "My Treo friends are my peers, and I like to know what they are thinking" rationale, then we should have no problem discussing politics, religion, economics, airfares, hybrids, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, OJ Simpson, Hulk Hogan, New Orleans, health issues, etc. So when someone in a group suggests that we are off-topic and perhaps the discussion should be taken elsewhere, either tell us why the discussion is relevant or stop burdening those of the 3000+ members of the group who are here to either learn about, or discuss the TREO. No need to be callous or rude with "In other words, if you don't like it..." statements.

Sometimes it nice to see what the people think that DON'T participate in political newsgroups. My Treo friends are my peers, and I like to know what they are thinking :) I follow the Treo group in my Outlook, but I am sure on the Yahoo website, it's broken down in a thread...

I'm sure there's a Yahoo Group where you can discuss these issues. Would make the Hitler and Mussolini proud. Heck, not even under Hugo Chavez's regime (Venezuela) this can be (legally) done! THIS right the government knows how to shred. The right to bear arms, something unjustifiable in the XXI century, on the other hand, is untouchable.
