Subject: [Leica] do not talk about election politics here

We have more Leica Users subscribers in the USA than any other country, and 
there is a USA election coming up.

It is absolutely inappropriate to talk about election politics on the Leica 
Users list. In my opinion a photographer must be able to conceal his or her 
political beliefs while photographing someone, and this is a good place to 
practice.

In some cases I will tolerate minor violations of list rules. National 
elections in any country are not one of those cases. Do not express your 
opinions here about republicans, democrats, liberals, tories, Christian 
democrats, socialists, prime ministers, presidents, vice presidents, 
governors, etc etc etc.
