I'd like to propose a moratorium on political posts, as they are
off-topic.  I see general agreement on the unsatisfactory state of
affairs here in the US, but for now there's little anybody can do about it.

 
You'd prefer it to be essentially a Ron O blog?
 
That's what it's pretty well been this last while :(
 

Ron's been standing clear of electoral politics. 

Factually incorrect, as I documented previously. 

In fact, if he's the
most prolific poster, good for him.

 
Sorry, I meant to reply to this but it slipped by me.

Just to be clear, I have no problem at all with Ron's posting on the
Dairy Flu - on the contrary, that is the sort of stuff that he excels
at and I find his contributions highly valuable even if focused mostly
on the USA as there will be an inevitable knock-on this side of the
Atlantic.

My point was that recently, he has really been the only poster here …
unless you want to consider JTEM as a useful poster!

What is it about post volume that's so noteworthy to some posters?
Some J*** enablers also recently raised this issue.  Is there a secret
competition for gold stars or something?
