Typisk...  What I believe is that answering Yes or No to such questions is
basically meaningless.. We live not in either a black and white, nor a Yes
or No world. Sorry if that bothers anyone, but being a diverse group with
wide varying opinions and geographic locations scattered throughout the
country, (and infact the world), I suppose ya'll 'l tolerate that. And you
are right.. it is wayyyyy off topic. I've been on "political" mailing
lists before and I would hate to see such nonsense get started here.
