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.
Very true MWB. I doubt there is ANY NG that isnt full of political OT posts
right now. Rec.sport.golf has plenty not to mention all the Ryder Cup
brewhaha.
