Tim I recognize that Austin's comments were rather rashly worded, but his basic point -- that the manner in which Henry Posner was previously listing his name and corporate affiliation was, well, unwise, in light of Henry's political posting -- was dead on target. Similarly, Jim Brick's comments here and on another List along the same lines were also dead right. I find it interesting that a lot of folks who would -- and in some cases have! -- raised the roof when others have posted political comments on this List are the very ones sticking up for Henry's right to do this. I find Henry's contributions to the Hasselblad List quite worthy and interesting, and I am certain that he will be an equally valuable contributor here. But, as has been stated here repetitively by many and sundry, it would be better for all of us -- including Henry Possner! -- to not inflict our political beliefs on this List.
