Considering I erased names like icanvoteasceondtime, athird, wecancheat,
fifthvoteforme, maybe my idea was far from a good one.

Right now, I tend to accept the idea that this list must host political
discussions. I'll rather use hackaday's forums and the hackerspaces
sub-reddit as the good place to discuss concrete technical subject.

My opinion has shifted a bit, thanks to the discussion and also to the
vote that tend to show that the silent majority prefers to keep
political discussions : on the list of my local hackerspace, such a
level of political discussions would make me angry, but on an
international list of hackerspaces, it is likely that most collaborative
projects will probably be more about logistics, politics, human
problems, etc...

Because anyone feels entitled to talk about political problems, the
signal/noise ratio is doomed to be low but I now see that as an
unavoidable characteristic.
