  While true, we also hope to keep the noise level sufficiently low that it
doesn't overwhelm the signal.  GNHLUG's primary focus is Linux and Free
Software.  GNHLUG exists because you cannot find a forum for that focus
elsewhere.  You can, however, find an (over)abundance of political forums
elsewhere.  While political discussions are by no means always inappropriate
here, they may sometimes be more appropriate elsewhere.

  As someone here said, policing ourselves is the way to go.  I suggest to
everyone that the next time you feel like adding to a thread that really
might better belong elsewhere, that you take it elsewhere instead.  It's the
responsible thing to do.
