While I agree that Strathspey server should be dedicated to SCD (and is 
indeed a wonderful resourse ,Thanks again Anselm!!!) I do think that  
occasional off topic and political threads  (suitably restrained ) are 
important. They help me to understand  the thought patterns and attitudes of 
the other members and thus to assess their SCD postings  better.It is good to 
see the many sides of  our members -it makes them more "real".Most of the 
political threads have been USA -centered - I would welcome occasional 
similar threads from non-USA members .We are all dedicated Scottish Country 
Dancers but we are also human beings  and many things can influence our lives 
and therefore our dancing!!
