Please be aware that not everyone on this newsgroup lives in the US and much
of the "political" stuff posted here is completely incomprehensible to us
and anyway it is not what we want to read as we are shortwave radio
enthusiasts.Lets keep this newsgroup on topic please, think radio, think
shortwave!

Mike,

Also try to remember that this is the most contentious election in recent US
history and that many of us, on both sides, feel that the impact of this
election will be truly global. This NG has a long history of spirited political
debate and that history is hard to abandon.

So, as an American, I apologize to you non-Americans for our political posts,
but I sincerely hope you realize that constant rebukes on your part may
actually be flaming the frequency of political posts. Americans DO bristle at
constantly being told what we should do.

Nov 2 isn't that far away.
