[Full-disclosure] I don't know if anyone has noticed...

[Eric Scher <ericscher@xxxxxxx>]

I just received my first "Digest" version of F.D. since the switchover.

Seeing all the subject lines in a row kind of made it stand out that  "US pres 
election was hacked away by Dumbya & Cabal."  was the subject line on 10 out of 
31 posts. That's about 32%. 

Think about that. 

32% of the bandwidth that it took to deliver that e-mail was for subject matter 
better suited to DemocraticUnderground or FreeRepublic.   (And yes, I grasp the 
irony of THIS message in the context of the prior statement)


Look, it's not my bandwidth, so I don't really care very much, but am I 
-REALLY- the only one thinking this has gotten out of hand? And this isn't 
about free speech either. This is about appropriate content. When I was in 
college, I  didn't sign up for a Math class so I could listen to the professor 
lecture on political science.

It would be really great if the people on this list could control themselves on 
this issue. That's probably a completely unrealistic expectation, but every 
once in a while it would do us all good to remember that self-control IS an 
option.


I apologize for wasting everyone's time with this message and I will make up 
for it by not bringing it up again.
