Presumably you'll ban yourself for a day for making this supporting assessment on list :-) (I'm sure you could do with the well earned break from this noisy mob). More seriously - on looking back I see there were quite a few people talking politics on my original solder thread (how do these things happen :-) ?) and some quite stridently at that. Hopefully Floret Morgenstern (any relation to the lawyer of Princess Bride fame I wonder?) was given fair warning of his indiscretions. He didn't seem especially more rabid or out of line than several other posters on the subject. I'm happy (enough) with the policy as otherwise it becomes just one large political forum BUT I suspect a bit of leaning over backwards and several hard kicks in advance of a coup de grace are in order.
