Iron - do you ever have the feeling that the politics forum is more trouble than its worth? Or do you still feel it has a redeeming value at 2+2? I trust your opinion.

I feel it has redeeming value. I know this because I'm willing to spend my time keeping everyone happy and about a quarter of my posting contribution is in Politics. There are a lot of intelligent people in there and I find I have learned a lot about the world by reading Politics, although I'm probably more interested in current events than most people here.

Iron - your response reads more like an explanation why it has redeeming value for you rather than for 2+2 (a valid argument, but not quite what i was looking for). Can you revise your explanation to show how it brings value to 2+2 as a whole - no poker content necessary of course.
