Re: Newton´s FIBULA

[Robin Blankenship]

Dear Conrad,
Sorry. That was supposed to just be the set up for the punch line about
checks and balanciers. It was intended as a pun, admittedly the lowest form
of humor if the other guy thinks of it first. Of course, the list is no
place for serious, personal topics.

Au contraire.  I have a number of private posts, and have deleted MANY
more, from denisons of this list and they run the gamut of topics.

Yes, Kristinn, you are right.  The historical temperment of this list, in
order to retain a well ordered technical discourse, has been to refrain
from political discussions which easily reverse a well-meant comment into a
mean toned argument.

Relationships built on this list could be shattered by political or
religious comments.
