If calling a spade a spade, and PC a silly pastime of prudish do-gooders, makes me an authority, I thank you for the compliment; though I'd very much prefer to be recognized as an authority merely in some fields of discography, and I dearly wish more opportunities for the latter would occur in the alehouse politics group 78-L has recently become. In my last mails I was merely adapting to the apparent new purpose of this list after silently enduring it already too long. If you check the archive you will noticed that *never* in the past ten years since I first became a member here have I *started* a thread of a political, religious, or otherwise off-topic subject matter, but if others here are ever so keen on displaying their views on these matters I see no reason why I shouldn't speak openly about mine.

I will NOT leave quietly this time, as I have done before in similar situations, but will be just as outspoken about *my* opinions - call them Racist or Nazi if you like - as others are about theirs. If what I write offends you, you might think again whether what you wrote before might not have offended me. Stick to the original premises of this list, and I will only too happily follow along. No political/religious/racial comments from others = no political/religious/racial comments from me, it's easy as that! Obama made no 78s, so his name has no place here!!!
