Over the last week or two, this NG seems to have drifted away from
the embedded group that it is. Postings have been made expressing
political, religous, and personal opinions far from the charter of
this NG. Personal attacks have been made on individuals for
expressing their opinions.
Please take these postings to personal e-mail or some more
appropriate NG.
Yes, it's true. There's been a right old "setting the world to
rights around the water cooler" chinwag.
And very good-humoured it's been too. (I saw one personal attack,
which was challenged, and the poster apologised immediately.)
Despite a multiplicity of viewpoints, it's been cogent, mature,
frank, but fair. (Which for Usenet is almost unheard of ;).) I'd
like to say thanks and huge respect to the posters for keeping it
that way.
But yes, you're right, it was OT. It made for an interesting
distraction from real work, though ;).
In large part it has been kept under control by the absence of
extensive cross-posting. That is always deadly, as it attracts
kooks of all flavors.
