I agree. But I think the best way to stop it is to start other threads that might make the election thread just fade away. This is a general problem for on-line (unmoderated) discussion forums: It starts out with on topic enthusiasm, goes on to 'well, we have discussed that 10 times already', then to various off topic discussions, jokes and one-liners. But usually the on topics will resurface in due time.

So, just hit delete (or whatever) and start writing what you really want to talk about.

Regarding US politics: Judging from several computer related discussion forums I have participated in for the last few years, half of the US techno-intelligentia are libertarian (small l) anti-statist anarcho-capitalists who don't give a damn who will win the upcoming election.

Is this a trend, or just a very biased impression?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
