Amen! Shame - shame - on you people for bringing up those "pointless
political disputes." You know who you are. How dare you discuss
anythinh haoppening in the "real world" on this mailing list.
Does anyone have any really great stories about Bono's butt - or maybe
their latest U2 dream about Bono's butt -- or perhaps what they got for
Christmas that was or was not U2 related? Oh, yes, that isall I want to
read. Yes, let's please make this list as banal and uninteresting as
possible. Any why not? Everything today is homogenized, Walmartized
and martinized so why not Wire?

Paul--I don't think you understood my post. Perhaps is was too vague.
I'm not talking about stopping political discussions per se. I'm talking
about notes that accuse people of being "stupid" and other unflattering
things. There were some of those posted yesterday. I do admit to being
tired of the Clinton--Lewinsky controversy, no matter where it is--the
newspapers, the news on TV, the Internet. After all, it will be decided
in the Senate and no other place. But I have no objection to postings
about political matters in general here. It would be stupid not to
expect political content on a U2 discussion list because they are such a
political group. It's the name-calling that got me irked.
Pax,
Patricia
