Good note, Glenn. (differences in cultural and political leanings and all that good
stuff)
Please note that when I made a comment in a similar vein about Santa postings on this
list, I was told to "live with it" or "lighten up".

I say it's a big difference. In an office setting, we can pretty much
know who hears what. On this list, we have to be aware that it is
global - and not everyone has the same policital or cultural leanings
that we have. To post a message of this sort, albeit was a "news item",
is to do a disservice to those who may read the list who would be
troubled by such news. Not everyone in the world greeted the news with
enthusiasm.
[Yes - I realize that Bill's original post was simply informational, but
I think we have to be considerate of possible reactions to such news.]
