I recently posted a political message with a heading that began NBC:.
In another group that I frequent (rec.music.artists.springsteen) that
is the polite way of informing people that a post contains No Bruce
Content. As you can likely imagine, that has become a very political
group lately.

I thought that it would be thoughtful to post the NBC: here so that
folks could simply bypass it. I figured that NBC could also mean No
Bicycle Content. In RMAS, some people filter on the NBC: to completely
ignore non-topic posts. Of course, in RMAS, political posts ARE on
topic.

There was never any intent on my part to imply that the network NBC
had anything to do with the content of that post. I never even thought
of NBC as the network when I posted it. My sincerest apologies to
anyone who took it that way.

Classy, dgk. As I was one who was most "vocal" in calling you on it, I'll
chime in and say that I accept your apology. And you've revealed the narrow
focus of my newsgroup participation. I don't know the conventions of the
rest of the newsgroup world. Pardon my ignorance.

Peace.

No problem. (I wondered what "NBC" had to do with the post!)

And your apology was very gentlemanly. Well done.

Cool, what is the action like in the Bruce group? Do people try for the
most obscure screen names?

There has been an amazing fight between folks who love that
Springsteen went to bat for Kerry and those who are angry and vow not
to go to another concert. I suspect that it won't die down for some
time.

I never noticed much different about the screen names; some contain
song references that can be a bit obscure, yes.

He thought it meant "National Republican Conspiracy". I suppose he's
right - it was (with 59 million conspirators). ;-)

Baker County, Florida, on the Georgia border for instance. 69 percent
of voter registered Democrats. 24 percent Republicans. Yet President
Bush got 7,738. And Senator Kerry, just 2,180. In Holmes County, in
the panhandle, seven Democrats for every two Republicans in the
district. Bush beat Kerry 6,410 to 1,810. In Dixie County, 77.5
percent registered Democrats, Bush 4,433, Kerry 1,959. Lafayette
County, 83 percent Democratic, Bush, 2,460. Kerry, 845. In Liberty
County, Bristol, Florida, 88 percent of registered voters there are
Democrat. 8 percent Republican. Bush, 1,927. Kerry, 1,070.

Keith isnt familiar with the term "Dixiecrat". Those counties have
been voting GOP for years and years (2000 and 2002 for instance). It
isnt a coincidence that Baker, Holmes, Lafayette and Dixie went for
Martinez over Castor.

Keith ought not never left sports.

Hey, don't bother to read the rest of it. It might cause cognitive
dissonance.
