[ADMIN][Rockhounds] RE: Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit

No political humor, even if you qualify it as humor/satire. Humor is 
acceptable when it's related to rockhounding. No politics. No politics. 
None. If you want to discuss a bill (e.g. contact your congressman to make 
sure this bill restricting collecting areas doesn't pass) that's one thing. 
But no no no no no politics. Period. Clear?

The rule is as follows:

"Humor is one of the things that makes this list appealing and lively, but 
please try to keep it rock-related, brief, and in reasonably good taste."
