If you don't want to read it, organize your emails by subject line, and hit " delete " on all of the ones that have POLITICS in the beginning of the subject, which should be grouped together. Or, if you have filter options, enter POLITICS in your filter, so that you won't receive any political message. The reason it is impractical to ban political discussion from the list is because more often than not, the political discussion is related to the list topics. Voting in this particular instance is not, but most political discussions start as a nutrition thread, and then gear into a subject that is related to traditional nutrition but is also political. Then that might diverge into other tangents as well, etc. There's been no sudden change in the list-- it's been like this for a long time!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Apparently eating a nutritionally sound diet makes one prone to be politically philosophical! (At least according to the recent Emails on this group.) I joined this site to get feedback from others interested in nutrition and it's impact on their lives. If I was interested in a group practicing political debate, I would join it. Is there a reason the moderator (s?) don't ask people in this group to try to keep their content relative to the subject of nutrition/physical health? I too am considering leaving this group if the politcal preaching doesn't diminish. Rebekah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are allowed to discuss politics as long as the subject line contains the indentifier " POLITICS " as the first word. Political debates crop up from time to time on the list and can get lengthy now and then. So, you can either leave the list and miss out on a plethora of excellent nutriton information, or stay on, and just delete any posts labeled POLITICS. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.
