I say let it run but we can split the thread and move it at the right time.
Political discussions on AoS are fine in my book - in the right place. The decision to move things around rests with any one of us on the three admin team (plus appointed mods).
I don't think any of us here who run this place are right-on pinkos as Mick Parry would express, so a slightly right-of-centre political bias is fine for those of us who wish to protect our hi-fi buying power for the future of our own individual interests as well as those of the economy - global or UK based.
Remember, if those bastards screw up our economy, we have no money to buy kit which ultimately is a luxury.
Moreover, the hi-fi business is weak as it is and we at the Art of Sound wish to protect our future upgrade paths whatever they are from both consumer and producer angles. If any dealers/distributors/manufacturers go under as a result of economic mismanagement, we as members of this forum wishing to further our music listening aims and those who make an honest living out of the latter will suffer.
Thus politics does matter - in the right places.
