greetings, all ---
this was, originally, a parenthetical aside in my other post,
but, on reflection,
because it is a different concept,
i have placed it into its own post
for the benefit of those, if any, who want to weigh in.
my aside commenceth:
[ before i get to my point,
permit me to make a recommendation to the powers that be.
i believe that more political speech is better than less.
clearly, some people on -chat enjoy discussing such topics.
just as clearly, others don't want to get involved.
i recommend the creation of a new list, "-politics-chat",
or some_such similar moniker, for such people.
those who want, subscribe; those who don't, don't.
those who can handle it, stay; those who can't, leave.
i call this "live and let live".
i, for one, am not looking for a flame_fest.
i seek a reasoned, at times spirited, debate with people
more likely than the general population
to be book_readers [ so few, these days ].
]
thank you for your consideration.
rob
