The subject remains, however, off-topic. It has nothing to do with your 
political opinions, or your expression thereof. All I'm saying is, choose
your medium. Many of us are friends with you on Facebook or some other 
social networking site, and a few of us read your blog. Also respect that 
most people on this list are pedantic about what is off-topic, or simply 
do not care.

I hate those threads too. Internet memo: either we already know that there's a
Cox outage, or we don't care because we don't subscribe to Cox, thankyou.
