You're not saying but you are saying it.
This is why politics is not recommended on the LUG.
Actually I'm not sure but I believe its not permitted.
It quickly leads to off center off based stuff like this.
It would be so great to not have to be exposed to the politics of my camera
email people. It would be so great to just not know. I'd rather be exposed
to their ground breaking stance on UV filter use or do they think  "film is
dead". Or other inanities that might actually have something to so with
photography but more the the point NOT reactionary politics.
