[78-L] Our quad-annual rantfest

[Tyrone Settlemier]

These off-topic rants always end up with the group losing valuable 
knowledge, when people get offended and leave. What is the purpose of that? 
Who is served? Is the power of broadcasting your political convictions 
really worth the cost? Perhaps it is personally, but you are making other 
people pay the price, something no one else has asked for. No matter your 
background, the Golden Rule always applies. Please review it on occasion.

If you're posting off-topic, inflammatory posts, please knock it off. Good 
people are leaving, hopefully they will come back.

If you are offended the posts of a few people, by far in the minority of the 
group as a whole, please ignore. Rants don't go very far when no one 
responds.

78-L is the oldest and most diverse group for collectors and researchers of 
old music. Let's keep it diverse, not divisive.

Many thanks!

Tyrone
