I honestly don't even know what became of the whole politics-on-this-list
thread as I wasn't really involved in that, but last I read the consensus
seemed to be that political discussion was OK, so long as it wasn't
paid-for canvassing or promotion. Is this right?

However, yes, I should have taken my own advice and changed the thread's
title. Apologies.

I care about my neighbors and I care about my country...particularly the
day before a general election.  So I won't apologize for sharing my
opinions on this subject; this board, after all, is about opinions. I'm as
free to post them as you are to ignore them.
