I agree. Every genealogy listserver I have ever seen has a rule against off-topic excursions.

My personal opinion is that political messages don't belong here, but Janet makes the rules for the list. As you know her PC is ill at best and may have gone to PC Heaven. It may be a while before she is back with us. I believe she has made her rules on the subject matter for the list VERY clear. This list is for all of our family and, as with most families, very few subjects are off topic. Let's all keep cool heads and try to be tolerant. At the same time let's remember the feelings of others when posting on what might be considered controversial subjects. Thanks.
