[TriLUG] OT - Take your political discussion to my Political BBS

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

In order to shunt the heat off trilug, like a heat sink shunts the heat
off of a CPU, I humbly offer a link to my Linux-phpBB-based Political
forum.

www.tungsai.com/bbs

Go give "Misterbill" hell, he's a political vacuum that absorbs all
other opinions and reduces them to Null.

I apologize for propigating yet more OT spam, but I promise this'll be
the last concerning politics. Also if it we not allowed to "advertise"
here. Trust me, I make NO $$$ off this forum.

As I read the above, it would prevent TriLUG from evangelizing Linux
(propaganda). IIRC, to be a 501C3 the main thing is not to have the club
support specific candidates.
