It seems to me that we share a common purpose, if we participate in this mailing list, and mostly we manage to rise above petty differences. Nobody knows your race, ethnic background, or anything else about you, unless you choose to tell us. And I hope that we can keep the peace here, at least, when the rest of the world is falling apart all round us.
