Last things first - James has my unwavering support.
I'm happy with his decision making - but may seek to inform it from time to
time :-).

I was dealing ONLY with the [OT]: tag where the above largely does not
apply. ie there is NO core matter to OT, only non-core matters. Where a
poster should draw the line on non-core and still expect an encore was what
I was dealing with.
On PIC/EE/AVR/SX/ADMIN/AD/??? threads I had no comment.

I accepted what James did (while commenting on it)(have I a choice ? :-) )
BUT it was NOT "keep it PIC or else" that he was talking about - it was keep
it politic (and non political) in the OT thread that he was talking about.
Several posters digressed badly and died (metaphorivally). I have no
complaint. Only comment.


> Considering the above and other comment thus far, James has my support.

And, lest there ever have been the slightest doubt about it, mine also.

Now, about the gradations of poltical commentary in [OT]: ....  :-)

RM is for short throw aways
Full sig for a little thought.
You are always welcome to throw theseway as well :-)
