Politics have no place in a forum like this. We are here to share common experiences with a particular brand of camera, not be subjected to a political discourse. I can perfectly understand Roger's disgust with it. We get enough of that crap from the media, "nongovernmental organizations," and a multitude of other dorks. > These things creep into various posts and we'd do best > to let them go if we don't agree personally. No we wouldn't. We should shout it out that they have no place here! Letting them go is not the answer and will only exacerbate the problem. It makes me quite angry to see Roger go. In the short time I have been on the list his posts have been witty, insightful, a nice contribution. It makes me angry because he should not be going due to someone else's inability to leave politics out of discussions. Discussions on a forum where a common interest is shared that should be apolitical. Regards, Don
