Speaking of having enough, I have not been subscribed to this list a 
full year yet, and certainly not through an election.  Is this volume of 
posts concerning politics typical?  I fear it is only going to get 
higher as the election year progresses.  If this is the case, 
Moderators, please unsubscribe me now.  I have no desire to discuss 
politics or to wade through hundreds of posts concerning politics to get 
to the posts that enticed me to subscribe.
