!!! *P*L*E*A*S*E* !!!
Can we restore net.followup to its original purpose and move
discussion of events in Beirut and elsewhere to net.politics?
YES - The discussion is valid!
BUT - It's in the wrong place!
I'm not trying to limit *anyone's* right of self-expression.

It is said that truth is relative. It is also said that we
choose our friends, but that we're stuck with our relatives.

Note that I'm not totally uninvolved in politics -- I just think net.general and net.followup are among the totally wrong places for it. By the way, Mr. Buck, thank you for pointing out to all the flamers on the net that Mr. Crone's US-centric position on Nicaragua is not the only one, nor is it T H E US position, as all responders seem to have assumed. I'm not sure that your reverse figures are accurate either -- but free speech and free will give us the opportunity to err, eh? -- Joe Yao hadron!jsdy@seismo.{CSS.GOV,ARPA,UUCP}
