NOTICE FROM THE LIST HOST (re: recent political commentary)

Ok folks, I've about had it with the off topic stuff as of late, including
but not limited to the current "political" discussion. This also applies to
some of the "flame wars" that happened a month or so ago which I received
several complaints and "requests for action" about, as well as the long
discussion of caurberators for god's sake.

This list is for discussion of classic computers and narrowly related
issues. If you want to talk politics or cars, hit the newsgroups. If you
want to respond to an on-topic message with political commentary or flaming,
take it to private email. There is NOTHING that I want less than to be
perceived as heavy-handed or dictatorial, but in the interest of the list
subscribers at large I felt the need to bring this up. There are plenty of
majordomo configuration or filtering solutions available to me that will
address this, but I truely do not want to go that route.

Let's keep the signal-to-noise ratio within reasonable limits. Please?

Jay West
