Thanks, Jim. I totally agree.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. The same is true of politics.

There is a time and place for it, and this ain't it. If we are going to
open the door to innuendo and "political interpretation", then this list
is in the toilet. This is supposed to be about Linux and related
technologies. 

If someone wants to make a statement questioning the abilities of the
bureaucracy, that's one thing. If you have to insert an obvious
politically motivated statement into it, that changes the whole face of
the discussion. We are then in an "Us VS. Them", and there isn't a
winner. Just chaos.

We should be intellectually able to separate the two subjects.
