From: ericscher at mac.com (Eric Scher) Subject: I don't know if anyone has noticed... I just received my first "Digest" version of F.D. since the switchover. Seeing all the subject lines in a row kind of made it stand out that "US pres election was hacked away by Dumbya & Cabal." was the subject line on 10 out of 31 posts. That's about 32%. Think about that. 32% of the bandwidth that it took to deliver that e-mail was for subject matter better suited to DemocraticUnderground or FreeRepublic. (And yes, I grasp the irony of THIS message in the context of the prior statement) Look, it's not my bandwidth, so I don't really care very much, but am I -REALLY- the only one thinking this has gotten out of hand? And this isn't about free speech either. This is about appropriate content. When I was in college, I didn't sign up for a Math class so I could listen to the professor lecture on political science. It would be really great if the people on this list could control themselves on this issue. That's probably a completely unrealistic expectation, but every once in a while it would do us all good to remember that self-control IS an option. I apologize for wasting everyone's time with this message and I will make up for it by not bringing it up again. eric
