[ale] Help in this forum

I think his point was that this list seems more political than Linux oriented.
Sometimes it seems one must really "cry out" to get help and discuss Linux.
Rarely is there an objection to spouting off a political position.

He is not saying "kill all politics."
He just questions why this list is getting more like /. or fark.
We should question why our "intelligence level has dimished."

For example, we should be intelligent enough to know (as Bob Toxen knew and 
pleaded) that the political arguments, positions, and RESULTS of the issues 
are not unique or new.
