I haven't seen any really bad divisions occurring since the huge debates and
general unrest in September/October 2001. If you are interested in what

I think this list still carries a lot of community spirit. We have a lot of
knowledgeable people here, and we've been through worse things before.
Actually right now it's pretty darn quiet.
