request for -politics-chat mailing list

[spellberg_robert]

greetings, all ---

this was, originally, a parenthetical aside in my other post,
   but, on reflection,
   because it is a different concept,
   i have placed it into its own post
   for the benefit of those, if any, who want to weigh in.



my aside commenceth:

[ before i get to my point,
     permit me to make a recommendation to the powers that be.

   i believe that more political speech is better than less.
   clearly, some people on -chat enjoy discussing such topics.
   just as clearly, others don't want to get involved.

   i recommend the creation of a new list, "-politics-chat",
     or some_such similar moniker, for such people.
   those who want, subscribe; those who don't, don't.
   those who can handle it, stay; those who can't, leave.
   i call this "live and let live".

   i, for one, am not looking for a flame_fest.
   i seek a reasoned, at times spirited, debate with people
   more likely than the general population
   to be book_readers [ so few, these days ].
]

thank you for your consideration.
