An ardent user on my system recently posted polical information about a 
certain candidate for Lt. Governor.  The user was unaware of the "Rules 
of Use" and has been asked to refrain from additional posts of that 
nature in the future.

I wish to apologize for not having intercepts said message before 
disemination.  Please be aware that it will NOT happen again from this 
site.

Rules of use -- Bah.. I found the *TWO* posts quite interesting.  I would
like to see more of this, and get more information...

Perhaps...
			triangle.politics

for discussion of the political climate in the Triangle Area, including 
national politics that relate to triangle affairs...

Except for the net.police harassing you, I see no problem with what happened...

It's not like triangle.general gets a WHOLE LOT of traffic...

I could go for this, if there can't be any political posts in t.g without a
lot of complaining. Actually, shouldn't most of the stuff here be in a
"triangle.misc" anyway, with only "important" stuff in .general?

Yeah, and it's not like this was a Jim {Hunt,Gardner} flame war...

My objection was/is that if you give it half a chance it will
end up as a flame war. Politics, like religion, is not one of
those subjects that lend themselves to rational discussion.

Mine opinion is just that.
