Well, I must say I think that Ted, you were asking for it and shouldn't be surprised that your comments elicited a strong response. I would have thought something would have clicked in your mind before you sent that message out! It's called restraint and good judgment. I am always amazed when e-mail senders don't think before they push the send button, but it happens too often. Yes, you are correct and " ...it is a list rule that politics is not to be discussed on the list " and " according to the webmaster 'an attack on one is an attack on all' for offlist mail." So you broke a rule (one which is designed to protect us all from puffy political posturing) and someone attacked you for it, which is against the rules. Looks like classic cause-and-effect to me! Now, can we all agree on the wisdom of controlling ourselves and limiting our messages to On-topic only?
Thanks Dale
