[etni] the current ETNI thread on the list

Hi all,

There have been quite a few messages to the list, this morning, asking that the 
current thread - what many see to be the inclusion of politics on the list - 
not continue.

I have not sent these messages through to the list yet - as I feel that they 
will have the opposite effect of what they were meant to do - they will cause 
more and more people to want to respond to this thread.

There is sometimes a very thin line between what is political and what is not - 
and what is relevant to the English classroom and what is not. Sometimes it is 
only in the tone - sometimes it may be in the subject matter altogether. This - 
in itself - can be a subject of discussion, as seen in the new ETNI poll.

I suggest - in the danger of being roasted - that we move the discussion of 
this topic to the comment area on the bulletin board of the new ETNI poll.
(There is a link to it from the main ETNI page - www.etni.org - and from the 
poll, itself.)

This way, those of you who want to carry on with the discussion can do so, but 
not on the ETNI list.

David
