M A Docter: "I've had many e-mail from people of other countries that use this forum getting sick of all the political debate"

Reminds me of the little old lady who complained to a deputy sheriff about her neighbor walking around nude in his house in front of the glass patio doors in a way that she could see him from her bathroom window. The deputy said to her, "Ma'am, when we came in here, the only house I saw was more than a half-mile from here and besides, that little window is too high up on the wall to see out. She said,"stand on this chair and use these binoculars, and you can see him just fine!"

This doesn't mean that nobody else didn't, but I for one didn't send any e-mails, I did my "complaining" (I was joking around more than anything else) in here...

Anyway, Clydefo, don't go on a crusade over this, you can't win against "authorities".

Clydefo,

As far as I'm concerned, the good doctor has been more than kind. He has pointed out that there is a section in this forum, as well as Forum Click, for you to post your opinions.

I for one have found the endless discussions on American politics very illuminating. The election of an American President has a profound influence on the rest of the world; which is why I find the current 'farce' very sad.In my own country,after Parliament is dissolved, there is around 3 to 4 weeks of intense debate, followed by an election;after which we all return to the real world. The American system appears to have gone on forever, which probably explains why half the American population did not vote.If I did not like the political discussion in this forum, I would just not read it - I certainly would not bother to e-mail a complaint.

Stylin 19 - I used the word 'appears'. It was a subjective,not objective, comment.
