Time to move this thread elsewhere (Was Re: NOBODY needs robots !!!)

Folks, PLEASE take the political commentary elsewhere. There are many
forums for this subject. These types of threads easily degenerate to
name calling and pull down the friendly nature of user-to-user help
groups.

This is precisely why I suggested not responding to trolls. The person
who started this thread must surely be sitting back and grinning at his
handywork.
