[stylist] For all STYLIST Members

[LoriStay at aol.com]

I expect that paternalism and other blindness issues are fine for the list as 
pertaining to what we write about.   I think perhaps politics is not.   Yet 
some would like the opportunity to talk about politics.   When the subject 
comes up, one might make the suggestion, "Let's move this over to the other list."
Just my thought.
