Mahan-L has US Govt members who cannot respond to political discussions
(assuming they even wanted to, which I doubt) and who could be
embarrassed by the appearance of such messages on their systems. It
would be like sending them sexual images. They are required by law to be
nonpartisan.

So I suggest we all post no further messages about current politics and
rumors on Mahan-L. We risk losing some of our best correspondents and it
isn’t the purpose for the list anyway.
