* ... I'd just hate to think of someone more impressionable who just
wants to fit in signing one, not because they think it is right...but
because they don't want to be ostracized...(and I've seen that happen
too...)

funny thing about the popular ostracon ... even in scadia, it only
has the power that *you* allow it to have.  in some circles, it's
considered a high compliment and sign that maybe they (the recipient)
are doing something right (g).  for a good comparison, read Hoffman's
_Steal This Book_ and pay attention to the section on groups social
ramificatiosn of the HUAC subpoena's (they became a badge of honor,
everyone wanted one .... sorta like some scadian "banishments"
(grin))

basically, do you really care about those that are so easily swayed
that they try to black-ball those they find unpopular, non-correct,
non-herd, etc???? .. seems like a good marker of people you don't
want to hang with or waste your time upon.  but then, to each their
own and like always YMMV.

'wolf
... scadian .. it's about fun not popularity / politics
