[CLUE-Talk] Iraq Stuph

[Angelo Bertolli]

Sorry to dip my fly in your ointment, but I'd like to mention that as a 
new-comer to the mailing list, I find the Iraq talk a big deterrent.  
It's not because I don't have an opinion, or am unsure about myself, but 
rather I didn't expect to see this issue permeating every part of my 
life.  I hear so much about it on the news and read about it so much on 
the internet (when I want to) that I don't really need to get an extra 
dose of it on a Linux channel.

Also, personally I'd like to mention that I'm disappointed in the lack 
of neutrality in some Open Source/GNU communities.  I don't think 
individuals have to be neutral, but I think there is a time and a place 
for everything.  For example, I was disappointed to read about the 
arguments on the GPG website.  I'm not trying to belittle the situation, 
but I certainly hope that everyone can realize that their own opinions 
and beliefs are their own, the political arena about Iraq has nothing to 
do with Linux,  and that everyone has probably already made up their 
mind on the Iraq issue anyway.

Anyway, sorry if I'm making too big a deal about this--the last thing I 
wanted to join was an Iraq discussion list.

Angelo
