...I agree with everything you wrote, with one exception.

You wrote: I know Greg made it clear this board was intended to be an "open mike" where friends can come and discuss anything.

Censorship is insidous and banning one subject will soon lead to banning another and another. Greg was very wise in his decision not to ban certain posts, aside from profanity, nudity, etc.

Although the political posts are sometimes informative, sometimes annoying, sometimes downright humorous and at other times readd like the ramblings of a drooling fanatic - to bar them would definitely be censorship.

We do not have to read these posts or any other subjects - nor are we compelled to agree/disagree with them. I scroll past the subjects and/or authors I don't wish to read.

You do a fantastic job and, while it may seem like a thankless one at times - I am appreciative, as are all the others.

Just my one and a half cents...
