Tech. Lines: 25 Distribution:usa The idea that some people can invade any group deciding that knee-jerk politics is the cheif subject of that group, is stupidity. If the two are inseperable in your mind, then start a mailing list, or another group to discuss the two. Sci.physics already exists for the discussion of physics.. politics can be used to invade any group with the concept that it is (of course) part of the whole picture.. So is religion, and philosophy, and psychology, and behavioralism.. Do we make all groups to include this type of invasion? Only to a degree of reason. Unfortunately, there are those who would prefer to psuedo-reason about meta- logical political viewpoints, than to discuss physics. I for one would prefer to discuss physics in sci.physics. -- "Of course they'll give you an account...
