Indeed. Why don't you demonstrate by example, Wolfgang...
Another list member recently took the opportunity to repeat his bad habit of expressing his political opinions on the list. This is nothing but grafitti. Please, BOTH of you, and also those with politically-charged signatures, take it somewhere else.

When I was young, my father raised chickens.
There was one chicken in the yard that was being picked to death.
I asked my father why he didn't save it.
He said that if he did, they would just start picking another one to death and it could be his best layer.
To me, you all are sounding like a bunch of nit picking hens who have contributed not one word of navigation wisdom or thought in this entire thread.
What goes on above the signature is content, below is business card. You don't like a man's business card, ignore it.

Frank and all,
For what it's worth I TOTALLY agree.I really don't wish to know anyone's pollitical views or affiliations.I can go to other lists and other boards to get that kind of abuse!
It serves no purpose here.
I don't care if you're a Jew. I don't care if you're an Inuit. I don't even care if you're a frikkin penguin! I don't care if you tote a firearm or you don't.
In this forum all politically charged headings or memberships or allegiances are ALL equally WORTHLESS.
One reason I enjoy this list is because I can escape the political bullsh!t I am subjected to elsewhere.
I appologise if my strong opinion on this matter offends other listmembers.But I do so get tired of certain members and the advertisements of thier affiliations.
