Very correct --- except that since I'm asking that religion and politics be
kept off the mailing list, why would putting it on the wiki be any more
acceptable?

If you want to rant about politics, religion, your job, your rash, or
whatever, there are ample blog sites available on the web. Go get one and put
your off-topic stuff there, please.

Again, minor threads I don't care about, if it's at least tangentially related
to Linux. Negative comments about sitting presidents or ruling deities, for
instance, simply don't belong here.

To clarify: Mark used to work for the Dean campaign, IIRC, and he brought it
up because they wrote open-source campaign software. That is perfectly ok for
this list. However, spewing Bush-hatred is absolutely un-called for and has
nothing to do with Linux, and I simply won't tolerate it here.

I like Bush. You may hate his guts. So what? We both need to keep our opinions
to ourselves if we want to enjoy our hobby and/or chosen profession together.
If you can't do that, you need to find another list and another LUG.

There, I've said it twice. I'm still nice about it, mind you. Please don't
make me pull out the LART stick, guys.

Thanks.
