All this bickering is not helping either.  No one appointed list cops
that I know of.  I thought the one post was valuable and useful to
monitor what is happening to our marketplace.  These other posts are
just noise. Those of you complaining are adding to the noise, not being
helpful.  Just read it and let it go, or contact someone in your
political spectrum and let them know.  Whatever floats your boat. 

Thanks, Andy.
