Nomad, What is your policy regarding discussions on this board about baja that may get political. I am talking about discussions that are
respectful, informative and not full of flames. Would you as a moderator welcome these discussions? If the discussion got heated and nasty would you
delete the whole thread or just slam the offensive individuals that could not keep it civil. I have lived and worked for almost 10 years in Baja and
am looking for a place to have more meaningful discussions regarding baja than just the usual "where can I get cheap beer". Thanks.

Hey, I want it all. I enjoy a good political discussion, especially with the APEC conference and the Norma 029 shark netting fiasco, and I also enjoy
discussions and fluff about cheap beer, etc. Bajabus, I sure hope you can keep us informed since you are closer to the action.

Yeah, but we have to see what the moderator of the board thinks before we use their resources. Thanks for the opinion though.

It's hard to know where you're going with your question.
The purpose of this particular board is to be of service to individuals with an interest in the Baja peninsula of Mexico, whether they've never been
there, travel there frequently, or live there. Subjects can be "Where to find cheap beer," or can be a dicussion of politics. That is up to the
visitors here. The topic here are things pertaining to the Baja California peninsula.
The "User Agreement" states that I/we have the right to pull posts that are abusive, vulgar, etc. As much as I'd like this forum to be as open and
broad as possible, I'll need to stick to that agreement, even if it limits who'll participate here.

Did I answer your question?

Hey Bajabus; I have read many of your posts on bajanet since that one thread was deleted. I agree your responses were thoughfull and appropriate.
They just got caught up with a few others that were not. Anyway, I have always felt that Eric treated the board and posters with a great deal of
indifference. His sister seems to actually care. I for one will always look forward to reading your posts and enjoying your perspective. Now how
bout a cold one. Tom

Well that all seems clear enough. I'm in the middle of some intense packing right now to get down to Elias Calles. I fly to LAX tommorow AM, spend
the night with EGL (Mat and Barb) and start the drive Monday AM at the crack of dawn. I should be back at my home and satellite set up by the end of
the week. I'll be back in buisness then.
Tom, Thanks a bunch for the comments, much appreciated.
This board has a really nice format and nice features I think I will like it.

Hi Max, if you could go real slow and stop at Cielito Lindo Saturday (9-21) for BBBB-4... I will buy all the beer you can drink! It would be fun
seeing that bearded face, again! (I will never forget opening my eyes in that hammock and seeing you looking down on jeans and I!!!)
