[Bob Sneidar]

Thanks Peter I didn't think what I posted was all that charged. It wasn't even biased one way or another. I was simply responding to Alejandro's remark that I didn't think things were likely to change on either side of the aisle.

You set a rule that will do a particular thing when the email meets a certain criteria. For instance, you could make a rule that sends any emails from me to the trash. I have already implemented this myself for a couple of you. :-)

And I don't want to come down as some sort of moralistic preacher about these things. All I wanted to do was the remind you (and others) that everyone has buttons that can be pushed, and that political remarks generally don't accomplish anything except triggering emotional responses. So the result is infrared shift: no more light on anything, just more heat. I guess my question is, is that what you want?
