Hooray!
I was beginning to think that all you normally wonderful, caring people
have all lost your marbles. Thanks to George for demonstrating that some
humanity remains when this group is faced with political self-interest!

Has anybody thought about how Janet Reno might feel, once persuaded to
join the list, if she were to read back through these archives. Now we
have a separate list for carers, perhaps TPTB should consider creating
a third list for political campaigners.
