Can we _please_ keep the politics off this list?  It's bad enough having 
Fox "News" blasting at me in bars and restaurants.  I don't need 
what appears to be a similar narrative from a computer mailing list.

Mark, I respect your work in the CoCo community highly - enough that I've 
patronized your business in the past and will continue to do so.  I 
understand your concerns about your job.  I work for IBM and have watched 
numerous co-workers ushered out the door over the past 16 years.  I could 
be next.  That fact does not make this an appropriate forum for me to 
express frustration on the issue.  I ask the same restraint of others.

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled geeky-ness.  Please?

Steve
