Precisely my point, sir. You all saw the flames that erupted on that one. I violated the rule, and chaos resulted. And I have less excuse than Henry, as I KNOW why we shouldn't post on political topics. (In my defense, I will point out that I was responding, in some sniffiness, to the post of another.) And that is what happens WHENEVER someone posts a political commentary: someone else reads it, gets miffed, posts a hot response -- and we are off to the races. Almost always, the subsequent posters run off the field on tangents of their own. Thus, gentle chiding, off-List, is perhaps in order for political comments - -- but, when someone responds hotly to another's comments, let's all hold our peace, MYSELF included!
