    I decry the weaponization of space.
    Since the superpowers have seen fit to escalate the arms race to space,
    I don't see how a space discussion group can avoid talking about space
    weapons and their implications.

There is a real difference between a general-information list and a
political one (on which people tend either to preach to the converted
or to exchange invective with their enemies).  I think it's legitimate
to keep them separate.

Flamery in pursuit of the Star-Wars and ASAT issues seems to have
killed ARMS-D, and it would be shame to see that happen to SPACE
as well.  I'm with JoSH.
