This newsgroup is not for politics. Somebody occasionally posting
their political agenda, liberal or not, in a thread with a clear
tendency and maybe even having some relation to benting, might be
tolerated. Constant political or personal campaigning that seeks
to take over every thread one participates in is a different matter.[...]

Point well taken! These recent threads concerning me are all about
housekeeping, ever the librarian's chief chore. I have decided to let
them go for the time being and see how things are going to settle out.
I will only come out of the wood work for Mr. Sherman, ever my
nemesis. If he will stop his rants, then I will stop mine.

I think maybe I am going to take a New Year's resolution not to be
calling anymore ARBR'ers idiots. I think we have all of us just about
exhausted the name calling. But I will immediately be back for any
egregious violations of the common understanding that is suppose to
prevail here according to you.
