Ok, do you have a suggestion for alternative wording, for next
year's message? I don't want to ruffle any feathers (or rather, I
want to be selective about the feathers being ruffled :D)<br>
<br>
I have no desire to take sides here, I used to object to the
'american politics' fever on this list myself, and almost quit
because of it, but still feel that the loss of John is a big one
(echoes of a certain other 'controversial poster' from the past,
sadly no longer with us. Some of you will know what/who I'm talking
about). It's just a shame that the other list is hosted by Google,
so it's kind of out-of-bounds for me, else I would be on both.<br>
