- Very interesting, I'm sure, but you seem to have missed Mr. Klorese's
- salient point: this does not belong in {ba,ca,scruz}.politics, which
- are newsgroups for local/regional political issues. There are plenty
- of other possible places for this material, e.g.,
-
- alt.activism
- alt.activism.d
- alt.politics.correct
- alt.politics.reform
- alt.politics.usa.misc
- misc.activism.progressive
- soc.politics
- talk.politics.misc
-
- and by posting this sort of thing here, which is explicitly reserved
- for other types of topics, you are simply going to annoy people.
- (Especially by implying that those who don't want the material posted
- here inappropriately are trying to avoid the issue.)
