I suspect that whoever worded the description of gnu.all either gave a very
bad copy of what he/she was told, or disagreed with it.  In either case, as a
reader of the mailing lists (gnu.all doesn't reach ncoast too much -- yet) it
has been rather obvious that RMS and others object to *any* political
discussion in gnu.all, whether for or against.  They are technical newsgroups,
not discussion groups; people read them to find out about GNU software, not to
read RMS's latest philosphical proclamation or people's responses to it.
