Political discussions and political statements are definitely
off-topic on this list. The previous posters on Mr. Jefferson are
hereby roundly condemned for their indiscretions, and should they
persist in the practice, public flogging is in order.
Discussion of sexual practices are appropriate only when they involve
the subject of making pictures of naked men and women.
Your friendly list minder for Wednesday, 6/25/2003.
