Well said Spike, I will certainly follow your advice and hope all
other Italians will do the same. Italian politics is certainly
interesting and important for those who live in Italy (which is not
even the case for some of the Italian posters, myself included), but
we should not see it as a top global issue, and is only marginally
related to the interests of most list members. Ad-hominem attacks are
never interesting, and constitute borderline spam is you ask me.
