Not that anyone asked but, personally, I kind of like the political
content. There are a lot of very Peugeot-knowledgeable folks on this
list. I don't see anything wrong with someone offering their political
views and can even tolerate people like the historical revisionist that
was discussed (briefly) a while back. I realize that the person was
deluded but I think if people can voice their opinions without
recruiting anyone for their cause it all seems pretty harmless.
