NAC: Politics on this mailing list, sig lines

[Shaun Mullen]

In anticipation of this thread getting real ugly real fast, might I suggest that
the original poster would not have had a problem if the tag line promoted a
social issue with which he agreed.  The quattro list is a democracy, albeit an
occasionally strident and untidy one.  Social issues and politics do not have a
place on the list, but excising tag lines goes a little too far.

My vote would be for allowing any tag line that does not contain offensive
language or no tag lines at all.  Ever.  Period.
