  Given that this list doesn't have a charter or description, it is hard to
call anything "off topic".  Myself, I have always thought of this list as
for *GNHLUG members*, and not just for Linux weenies.  So topics which apply
to GNHLUG members would be on-topic, even if they are non-Linux.

  However, that being said, I would like this thread to die, just because
I've found that generalized political discussions in online forums *ALWAYS*
go nowhere.  They go on and on and on and on, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
They're simply a waste of time.  So I strongly advise avoiding them.

  Discussions on a specific, focused topic (e.g., the DMCA) do not always go
nowhere.  Others do.  (I refrain from giving examples, in an effort to avoid
such discussions starting, but anyone who's been in (or even near)  such a
discussion will know exactly what I'm talking about.)
