[Leica] Compulsive Political Message Posting

True, and I didn't claim otherwise. I was mostly aiming at our dear
Walt, who seems to wring his hands about KALIFORNICA and
Taxe$ pretty often.

Touche. That I can't restrain myself from commenting
on the frequent soapboxing on this group means I'm
compulsive myself. All I need to do is hit the delete key.
But I couldn't take it any more yesterday.

Read my original message again, and you might detect some
irony in it. 

>The issues at hand are First and other Amendment rights. 

I take these issues extremely seriously, and nothing in my post
suggests otherwise.

Thanks very much, Mark. I would like to say, without any irony
or sarcasm intended, that I read each of your dozens of posts
to the lug each week because I often find them enlightening.
And yours are rarely political tracts. If you assumed my message,
which referred to habitual political postings, was directed at you,
then that was, well, presumptuous of you.
