Like techgirl I returned from the London MegaDo full of warm thoughts & feelings re: FT & FTers. I don't feel sad like her after reading the thread - instead incredulous. Folks, life is just too darn short to get so worked up over something like this!!!

Good grief - if you're going to put that kind of passion into arguments, how 'bout doing it on something that really matters in life vs a perceived problem on an internet bulletin board - and if you're going to continue picking apart various countries political processes & flags & where democracy started, could you do it in OMNI & leave Community to its normal purpose?

I do think it's funny, though, that the intent of the OP was to boycott voting & the result will probably be an increase in voting.

Cheers.
