Dean, I'm sorry to see you leave - you have contributed to this group 
greatly with some very informed posts ...

Do you really think the volume of OT posts is that exceptional ?
(I don't)  - I do think that feelings are running higher than usual and 
the OT posts have been focused around one issue (war/peace)

but gllug has always been as much a social forum as a technical one - 
and in these times of such sharply divided opinion I think it would be 
sad to see such important debates excluded from this group.

as I say - sorry to see you leave and I hope you return when the dust 
settles ..
