and I'd like to interject here...
I am quite certain that few if any minds are changed by these debates
but I think that it's arbitrary and unfair for some to express their
opinions and then someone decides that they can cut off debate because
they aren't interested.
I presume you know how to delete emails that are on topics that you
aren't interested in.
Everyone should get the opportunity to speak their piece - regardless of
whether you agree or not, and if you're not interested in the
thread...just delete it.
