Honestly, I am not terribly interested in an electronic discussion on economics and politics. I tend to avoid those topics even when afk. As I am sure you are aware, although I quoted you, my comments were really more directed to the *others* who replied to your message. You merely gave me an easy platform and I took it. (FWIW, I am certain the two of us would have a grand time over drinks...) In case my parting comment wasn't clear, I do wish that PICLIST could keep traffic related to Bitcoin limited to that which is technical in nature. It seems that the discussion always devolves quite rapidly whenever the topic comes up. -p. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
