I agree 100% with Boisy.  Off-topic messages should not be derisive or 
meant to start flame wars.  This is not the forum for this type of 
material.  We are not all of the same political or religious view.  Why 
upset 50% of the list with your own brand of nearsightedness?  Stating 
that Democrats are stupid, or that Catholics should be shot or Swedes 
should be shipped back to Sweden (I'm 50% Swedish) only show you as 
being blind to any ideas that you don't personally believe in, and 
frankly make you sound very uneducated.  We're a global society with 
very divergent views.  But we have one very important love that keeps us 
all together.  Why spoil it by spouting off-topic, inflamatory 
statements that can only divide this group?

I like an occasional off-topic message.  Humor is great.  If you want to 
state your political or religious view, please do so in a way that is 
not offensive, and maybe preface your views by writing IMHO.  (And 
please, you are not impressing anyone by using partially hidden words 
such as sh*t.  Grow up.)
