I've been on this list for quite some time, too. I don't think seniority
has anything to do with it, but I'd also rather see emails with substance
instead of dumb-ass threads.
Political threads, especially the kind being posted here, do not have
"substance." They're very often ill-informed and extremely over the top,
which not only hurts the serious attempts at changing political opinion, it
spreads ignorance about what's truly going on in the world. A few punters
arguing about "World war 3" when there isn't even a war declaration in
*any* of these countries is useless ballyhoo. They're as bad as that fake
"UN petition."
Such politics are worse than fake autechre tracks.
