Remember: Everything is political. (TM)

Maybe it's just me, but don't have a problem with high-volume lists.
This one is not really high volume. And I think sometimes you need to
force people into political discussions. For me, that an integral part
of what hackerspaces and hacking in general is about. I don't see how
separated lists could work out well, as many discussions evolve over time.
