Lee,

I'm with you here...I keep asking why, when the political posts start to become nasty, that the posters don't take it back channel. 

I, for one, welcome the diversity of topics...esp. political....the varing viewpoints on the list have opened my eyes to much I had ignored in the past. It's the nastiness and beating up of people that has to be handled....not the topics of the posts.

Oh, BTW, Lee..Does Ed (not 'da list' Ed...I went to high school w/ Lee's boss!)know you need more to do at work???

hahhaa

We can't change the angle of the wind....but we can adjust our sails.
