- You've touched on a point that I would like to make a bit more strongly,
- and I hope nobody takes this personally. I would actually like to ask
- people *not* to post their political views to gaffa since:
- a) they are none of my business;
- b) they have nothing to do with Kate Bush or her genre (this is not
- the same as objecting to postings that concern other artists
- that Kate's fans might be interested in---I welcome that); and
- c) I'm sick to the back teeth of hearing about the US election
- anyway ;-) How would people in the US react if us Brits went on
- about how crap Major is or the Australians started whining at us
- about what a great idea the Commonwealth is and how would they
- manage without the Queen? ;-)
-
- Of course this is only one person's feeling and if you (addressing everyone
- now) think I'm the only person who feels this way then I don't expect
- you to stop posting your politics.
-
- Flames by email please. I'll summarise to the net.
- ;-)
