Agreed here.  There was no mention in the original
message about how topical it was.  Any explanation of
that really ought to be self-contained within the
post.

We could/should do that.  I won't subscribe (I've been
attempting to keep any comments I've had of recent
threads offlist, as those I've emailed can attest to. 
However, should there be a list like that, I won't
subscribe.  I just wish people (yes, myself included
at times) could/would show some self-control and just
leave the crap off the list.  Unfortunately, I suppose
some will just never get the message.  I don't mind
the historical discussions (i.e. what if the Russians
had done this instead of that?), but the political
sniping is waaaaaay over the top, on all sides.
