FWIW, much of the coding and FS stuff has moved to learn, but I'm not
particularly happy with this list being so turned over. There have been
times before when such things like this have happened, and I usually
just ride them out. At this point, though, about 17 people have
unsubscribed from the list, so it will indeed soon, as I wrote, become
an empty room, if the participants don't chose to moderate.
I do feel that with the current political crises, that people need a
platform to vent, but hangout has a very long history and I hate to
abandon it. We've had pertinent arguments and discussions about
Obamacare going back to its beginning, not to mention city politics,
international affairs, race and politics through out the termoiltous
times. Where would you propose I draw a line?
