Alan, I am one hundred percent behind you as always. During the course of the last seven years, I have watched many good resources for the linux community disappear from this mailing list over the petty political squabbling that bubbles forth from time to time. Honestly, I'm about ready to join them. Most other mailing lists I subscribe to have very strict rules about not only staying on topic, but on keeping the signal to noise ratio low, but even the ones that don't have tendency to self regulate much better than the PLUG general discussion list does. If we can't agree to talk about Linux, computers and technology here and leave our political and religious convictions out of it, then I'm out. A post or two, I can overlook, but these off topic debates span hundreds of messages. With on topic debates averaging less than 10, the signal to noise ratio is simply an inefficient use of my time.
