Good Morning,
To make my point, i nust say that:
I subscribe to "BLU" inorder to read news and dialog about
"Linux , Unix and other (similar) Operating Systems."

Since I don't see an "OT or Off Topic" label I consider discussion 
about Organized Labor and Unions
an imposition on the general intent of the "List"...
