[ExI] worry

[spike at rainier66.com]

Hi John,

 

Why did you mention me rather than William who asked the question I was answering?  John 

 

Because you have the option of answering offlist, which is the right thing to do in this case.

 

Also because I get a stream of complaints whenever the discussion goes to US politics, which doesn’t apply universally.  I don’t know or care who is the PM of Australia, or Germany, they don’t post about their internal affairs, and I think we should return the favor.

 

We could do like the old days: figure out which posters here concern themselves about things like Trump deciding to delay the election, and the rest of us USians who know that Trump can decide that if he wants, but the election goes on anyway, same time, same place as before, because states run elections.  Figure out who wants to hear campaigning, then form a subgroup.  Then take that offline.  It doesn’t belong here.

 

We used to do that on obscure subtopics all the time.  Do that now on this obscure topic.

 

I will offer that some of the very most interesting discussions were offlist.
