Bring up that this will play havoc with the Domain Name System and effectively break the internet (It's a bit more complicated but trying to keep it simple for our congressional folks). It also wouldn't hurt to add this is the same thing we criticize countries such as China and Iran for.

So, I just wanted to quickly remind folks to step lightly around the topic. Thanks. 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 2133 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 - 1:26 pm:    No soup for pauldo at the next Chicago gathering... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10527 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 - 2:24 pm:    pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 753 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 - 7:22 pm:    Dang - I was hoping my footnote about non-partisan would keep the Mods at bay . . . ;-) Sorry Dave - hope it didn't keep you from getting to the USPS on time. As Rusty pointed it out, it was all for naught. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10531 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 - 7:35 pm:    I got there two minutes before closing; and the letter that had to go out is on its way! funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 724 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2012 - 7:49 am:    Man, you guys are strange. I live in Washington, DC and we talk politics all the time at work, at home, during dinner, at play, on the Metro, in church... Vann-Di pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 754 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2012 - 8:14 am:    Vann-Di, I understand the moderators desire to keep political discussions on a short leash here. We are nothing more than visitors in this cyber-land that is provided by a really great, family owned company; albeit this is the Miscellaneous area, there have been strong opinions made here that could be detrimental to the Alembic family that we all love so much. I personally would never want to be involved with any 'discussion' that may be harmful to the companies reputation. Paul - the soupless one. :-D rustyg61 Advanced Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 369 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2012 - 12:32 pm:    "Paul - the soupless one." Classic!!!
