You can make a specious argument that anything is on topic.  Clearly 
this has nothing directly to do with Linux.  Clearly many members care 
deeply about this.  I'm not arguing against their right to discuss it, 
just asking that they pay the list the courtesy and move it elsewhere. 
Since most of the more...activist...members of the group also appear to 
be members of internetworkers, I question that this is a serious burden.

Note that I'm not questioning the original post...its the 30th or so...
