So what? I don't necessarily agree with Samantha, but I think that most
people on this list know her opinions on certain issues. And we most
certainly know yours, for better or for worse. Call it rhetoric, call it
dogma, call it the re-establishing of opinion, but one thing's for sure: it
can get pretty damn annoying, day in, day out.

It's a mailing list for people with a common philosophy --it's not a podium
for the most brash participants to boast their self-righteous ideological
supremacy over and over again to people who, quite frankly, don't really care.

Does this really need to be said?
