[David Lucifer]
Effective immediately all messages with political content should be posted to
the Serious Business board on the BBS
(http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=7) instead of the mailing list.
Discussion of this new policy should also go on the BBS, in the
Suggestion Box board (http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=7).

This deserves repeating.

Hermit, you know very well, that you are welcome to the #virus channel. You
left on your own, and will eventually return on your own. Many of us have
expressed our regards for you and wish that you would return. There's
nothing stopping you, except yourself.

Btw, when did quantity overcome quality? I may not be as active a member of
the CoV as some of you all, but I didn't know that I was also supposed to
develop the membership base. When did this all happen? :)

Kind regards,
Casey

[Jake] I would suggest that "political content" specifically regards threads
relating to GWB, GWB's potential war on Iraq, and Israeli/Palestinian
conflict. Basically the threads that have been thrashed on extensively in
the last few months, but still have life and currency enough to continue. . .
shall continue on the BBS. I doubt that David intended all political
discussion to cease on the mailing list, as that could get absurd bcz
probably all topics Virion have potential political ramifications and/or
potentially reflect the status of politics. We don't need to be chilling out
too many other potentially good topics on the E-mailing list. I think we all
can take a look back at which threads we are talking about (Definitely "On
War") and not talking about (not "Should forgiveness be a Viron virtue?").
