Political discussion!  What about the 'n' users who wish to see the answers.
	It turns out that some of us 'n' users would like to see the answers
	posted on the News net, it gives the 'n' user different avenues to chose
	from. It may be the case that the 'n' users may have the same problem,
	and posting answers gives the solution.
	
	Different stokes, for different folks. Your not the king of the jungle!
