Re: Candidate endorsements

And that is the solution.  I delete anything I don't want to read.  Don't we
all?  This forum is already cluttered (in a positive sense) up with all
sorts of endorsements--of people, ideas, meetings, etc--many of which I
don't care to read, but I just delete them and leave them to those who do.
