Yes. I am Canadian and I find the U.S. politics flames to be a
waste of time. It happens in many discussion areas. The behaviour
in ProFox is especially bad. It has gotten to the point that if I
ever host a forum, U.S. politics will be explicitly off-topic *and*
not permitted. There is something about U.S. politics that can make
otherwise nice people rather rude, opinionated jerks. Then, there
are those who started as rather rude, opinionated jerks.

There is a list for that. Ed, please mention the details. The
problem is that some of the [OT] and [NF] posts are of interest to
me. Perhaps, a tag of [USP] should be added for U.S. politics posts.

You mean act as if FoxPro is the focus of this forum? Is that
allowed? I know: it will have to be allowed. Given the number of
[OT] posts, we FoxPro posters can claim minority status.
Yes.
