Yeah I can see how that may happen also, yet, I don't want the network to be devoid of anything happening globally as that equally seems a somewhat futile thing to try and abstain from and probably one of the more interesting things that could be discussed. 

So it's trying to find a way to divorce (as best as able, if at all) political points of view from events taking place... and to that end I also agree that's a tall order to do in a way that participants can agree on equity in that space.

Thank you.
