Monts, certainly I'm aware of the mention and even agree with it, but my point is really that many many many books - fiction and non-fiction deal with politics and religion and are discussed all over the forum and it is rarely limited to the text of the book itself. Even non-book related politics are again discussed all over the forum. -- Take the Global Warming thread for example. Totally contentious and certainly political but it goes on as do many other threads that deal with politics -- such as the illegal immigrant threads and others. It is only when certain beliefs or statements are expressed that threads are closed or posters are warned or banned. I know it is a difficult job to manage a heard of wild cats -- which is really a good analogy to internet posters in general. Posters and Moderators must use their best judgment as to what to post, what to allow etc. depending on the nature of the particular forum. Sometimes those posts and decisions are good and sometimes they are bad and different people will have different opinions about them.
Onward to the next 2 million!
