Peter's wisdom is appreciated...
Apologies....to Russell and whoever else might have taken issue.
What I think about the subject doesn't really matter..
This is a PIC list, and chasing the info that describes it does say that it
is in  respect of the others herein to take discussions and postings about
such way off - topic things tho their appropriate forum.

It's not my job to police the list either. In all fairness however, the
fundamental ideals behind this list is the sharing of technical ideas in a
way that is supposed to be void of the divisive elements that prevent the
rest of the planet from agreeing on anything. A good example is the current
world turmoil, exacerbated by a handful of political leaders - each having
adopted one or another of the philosophies presented today, either in whole,
in part or in combination.

I don't want to prolong this here - really just intended a reminder of why
we are all really here  - or at least what the purpose of this list is - and
what it is not.
I don't need to have the last word either. If anyone wants to continue this
discussion off list, please feel free to do so.

Thanks, Peter, and sorry, Russell.
