Thanks Jeff.

Discussions about cancel culture etc. are not discussions about retro tech. There's nothing subjective here.

I agree the thread seems to be mostly about ideological points of view on subjects well beyond retro technologies. This is not the echo for such things. The scope of this echo is well defined.

You're correct at present there is no echomail area set aside for politically charged conversations. That is currently by design given the discord such discussions have in the past seemed to engender across other echos.

Happy to discuss this aspect further if you wished in FSX_NET.

 Je> You are welcome.
