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 [Posted in FML issue 3542]
