I would like to take this opportunity to ask for everyone's support in my
bid for the presidency under the IPPV--Independent Party of the
Proctological Violated (which is every non-executive working stiff in effing
America).

By dint of some anatomical limitations left undetailed here, I am a much
better prospect than any Dem or Rep, cuz I won't be able to shove it in
nearly as far, even if I wanted to.

Note the lack of cross-posting.

Thank you all very much.

Any newsgroup has two purposes, one is information exchange (how to do
metalworking) and another is a social forum for like minded people.

Because this is a social forum, we'll see some off topic messages.

If one of the purposes is suppressed, people leave and the quality of
the forum suffers.

If there are too many political posts (and I admit to posting a few
such messages recently), then then beign to drown out informational
messages, and defeat the main purpose of this newsgroup.

So, yes, I am joining in asking to simply reduce the # of political
posts. Not eliminate them, but to post less. I will try to not
contribute anything political myself, in fact just today I refrained
from answering some political posts.

In fact, let's have a show of hands here. Who is actually reading
political posts xposted to other newsgroup? (not raising my hand)

I also agree with Christopher who said that we need more projects and
their pictures, posted here.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
