Tom, you should be ashamed of yourself [grin].
But as for political discussion threads, I've received complaints lately that we've had too many of them that are very slight variations on the same subject. Seems to me that when one person keeps starting threads instead of participating in ongoing discussions, those new threads are often much more propaganda than discussion. The person doesn't really care to exchange ideas - the intent is to flood and overwhelm all others with the poster's own point of view.
And that's not quite fair to the rest of us.
