Thank you all for your posts the last few days about the terrible
tragedies of 11 Sept.  I was glad to let the FML community share their
experiences during this emotional time since many of us here share such
a strong an emotional bond.
 
A natural progression takes place though, so I've recevied several posts
today which stray from posts which "help to heal" -- instead people are
starting to discuss the religious or political significance of the
tragedy.  (I probably helped this by accepting a post yesterday that was
a bit too political in nature.)
 
I think it's time to "draw the line" -- and rather abrubtly.  Posts
discussing the religious or political implications of the terrorist
attacks would quickly consume the list if left unchecked.  The FML just
isn't the forum to dicuss such things if this is to remain a valuable
resource for ferret lovers.  So, please, before you send in a post,
consider the motication.  If it is to "preach" your own political beliefs
about terrorism, however valid they may be, please think twice.  Chances
are I'd end up not posting it anyhow and we'd all be wasting time.
 
Thank you all for your understanding during these difficult times.
 
Bill
