Dear Community,

I'm 100% sure this topic came up in=

can't
find it on the mailing li=

currently the top blo=

Now if every blog appearing on the planet would target a political subject<=

If I want politics, I g=

go to
planet=2Ekd=
e=2Eorg=2E

Please dear bloggers: there are categories, and you can c=

your
blogs do show up on the planet=2E I know that som=

to
you and obviously you are free to blog=
 about them, but please keep the

it doesn't become a mess where it's

Thanks and kind regards,
