Mike, I don't know how's the political
landscape is in the USA, but you
would say that there is few significative corruption and collusion?

The U.S. is below most of Europe, and Qatar, but we beat France! (The
rankings at the link is the Corruption Perception Index by Transparency
International; as suggested by its name, its based on the perception of
corruption as drawn from surveys rather than any empirical measurement.)
Finland finished on the bronze, behind Denmark and New Zealand?!!!
The "fix is in"!!!
On the surface this is a very frivolous post. Funnily enough I have
a serious point I have been nursing along for a while. Any
list moderators listening? There are times when the mailing
list itself can be a source of infighting and internal politics. I submit
this is not one of them, and as such, I think modified rules to the
soft moderation rules should be adopted. Blatant trolling should
get a "one strike and you are on hard moderation" response,
and monthly moderation limits should be lifted entirely. We really
are on war footing. Not bean-bags at 50 yards footing. We need
to sort things out, and more talk is a good thing, not a bad thing.
