Not quite sure what your point is or even if you tried to make one.
First of all I find the subject line offensive (and tells much more about
the poster than anything else) and in addition to that I never understood
why people need to post purely political threads in a forum - or on a board
- that caters to a particular, clearly stated subject matter. Either the
person posting such posts is too lazy or incompetent to find suitable forums
- or is simply trolling for attention.
Not sure which in this case and honestly I don't care as I'm leaving this
distribution list as it has lately become a waste of time to read due to
posts like this. Too bad since I truly do enjoy reading about both Olympus
cameras and Zuiko optics - not some moronic posts about ANY political party
or belief.
