Re: global warming, npr, etc.

Bill, as you say, it's easy to delete posts by merely looking at the title, and so I didn't have any problem with your post and others mentioning this topic. I like variety. Generally topics don't run forever anyway.
I too try to practice forbearance.

Further considering that the list owner's cherished subject tags include one (OT-CHAT) specifically designed for "personal messages and conversation" and that the posts in question did contain that tag, I fail to see the problem here. I think the purpose of those tags is so that listers can screen the posts that they choose to read.

There are posters here whose every post I find distasteful. Even though their posts seem to me to reveal a pretentiousness and arrogance that nearly gags, I would not consider trying to silence them. Instead, I practice forbearance. This is a free society. Let's all try to do the same.

Can we please drop the political BS and stick to irises on this list?


I second that emotion. Politics have always been a verboten subject on this list. The idea is, that, like religion, also verboten, they are a subject about which some may have very strong feelings which others are not interested in hearing. As it were.
