just wonderin' - if you never joined 'political' how is it you are familiar with its set-up?
To answer your questions:

My point was/is that I thought the political forum might be better served if it was restricted to local district or county concerns rather than national and world politics.

Yes the district gov site has postings for each district including meeting agendas, minutes and budgets, but there’s no place to discuss or debate the issues with other members of your specific district. No big deal, just a thought.

And when I joined TOTV in 2008, that forum was wide open and all the political posts would regularly appear when you clicked the button to show just new posts. Without even opening the thread you could see the subject line so I knew what was being discussed. After numerous complaints, the Admin made membership in that forum restricted.
