[ELECTRON] separate political mailing list?

[Ian Bitmap]

why don't we just disregard the politics altogether? Just because I'm
interested in open source software does not automatically mean I wish to
save the rain forest, adopt a panda or indeed 'smash the state'. The recent
uprising(?) of the 99% seems to have the air of a 'Citizen Smith' remake,
albeit with facebook replacing soapboxes - so please, if just for
 intellectual refuge, lets leave the politics to the armchair pundits and
1st year social studies students, and get back to what the club was setup
for.
