I am far  from one to toe the politically correct line, since so often it

this group. 


My post--and I assume that is what is being analyzed-- had *nothing*  
whatsoever to do with "political correctness," whatever that  is supposed to mean. I 
was merely offering a reminder of  the list etiquette which has prevailed here 
since the very beginning,  etiquette which is clearly spelled out in the 
Welcome Message. 
 
Political matters--like religious ones-- are supposed to be avoided  here 
because they are controversial, and also because they are *way* off  topic. The 
post that started this thread also involved forwarding  a chain letter, which, 
for obvious reasons, is generally  considered a bad idea.
 
No one here knows diddlysquat about my personal politics  or faith-- if any-- 
and *that*, I believe, is *exactly* the way it is  supposed to be on this 
*international* horticultural mailing list.
