LUGs and Politics: NO! was Re: [sllug-members]:Comcast_Is_Starting_The_Tiered_Internet_Whether_We_Like_It_or_Not

Ouch SLUGG police please slow down.  I didn't get the impression anyone 
was "representing" you or anyone here.  I think you took it the wrong way.

General question.  Is speaking about technology something we don't want 
to have here?  I know we're all about Linux but Utopia Infrastructure is 
taboo?  I haven't seen anything that mentions tech like this being an issue.
