I have only two things to say in regard to your posting. One why does your
view on what is appropriate for Theos-News prevail of Ramadoss's views? He
may, and in fact obviously does, believe that the T.S.Election is clearly
News. What's so awful about that? If elections aren't news the entire
American Media is terribly misguided.

Secondly, you, or anyone else, has a right to unsubscribe at any time to any
group, what I am objecting to is the constant "soap boxing" of threats to
unsubscribe, and the judgemental attitude towards the behaviour and ideas of
others.
