Harvey and Eugene have not said they cannot accept
even one week, only that they intend to get scarce
for that week.  Fair enough.

I made no ruling, only a suggestion.  Clearly there is
dissenting opinion.  I am conflicted on it myself, so let
me counter-propose this: keep to extropian interests as
much as possible when discussing political matters.  Most
politics have an extropian angle.  

We all recognize that some would like to
have political debate here, in which most of us have
little interest.  As a practical matter, I will not be
an SL4 style list-sniper, which would be required were
we to have strict topic discipline.  I and the other
moderators have not the time to do that, we have other
business to attend.  Political discussion is not strictly
disallowed, but extropian focus is highly encouraged.
