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.  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!
 

Ron scares the shit out of me on a regular basis and for that I thank him.

I don’t know if we’ve been able to rebound from the welcome demise of GG.

I do miss more frequent input from Lawyer Daggett and Burkhard. I think
they had both used novaBBS as an alternative means.

Ron Dean has returned. That’s gotta be better than JTEM, right?
