Hi all,

Some of you are beginning to discuss your opinions about the issue of gays
in scouting and the rightness or wrongness of the BSA's policies on this
point. We don't talk about this stuff on this list, as per the welcome
file. I for one would appreciate it if all of you would save your
discussions of gays in scouting for rec.scouting.issues, where these
matters are the sole topic of conversation.

Reporting on the arguments presented before the Supreme Court last week is
one thing, but getting into discussions about whether BSA is right or wrong
on its policies regarding gays is something else altogether.

I did not join this listserve to discuss the 3 Gs!

Thanks!

YiS,

Pete Farnham
