---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment One of the dangers in being candid with some people is that they'll misquote a private email and post it to the list. That is the case here. The paragraph below in quotes is an accurate representation of what I told RicB in a private email. It was in the context of requesting that the subjects of politics and religion be omitted from the PTG lists. My political views were confined to a private post rather than a public one. I'll not respond publicly about his or my political views. The meaning he perceived from my political views and his negative public response serves as a prime example of why we try to keep politics and religion off the list.

"The Electronic Communications Committee has recently spread out to all its members the job of administering the list. Dealing with viruses, spam and misdirected posts is one thing, dealing with list members insisting that we unsubscribe participants in flame wars is one job we feel would like to avoid if we can." He sent me this in response to something I wrote the other day that he deemed innappropriate. That is after he got done calling me "stupid" for not understanding that the US elections were already finished. :) Guess he didnt read the post closely enough. -- snip -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
