I'm new to the group, an admirer of ODP and eager to do my part, small as it may be, in moving the entire ODP ahead. Forgive, then my first question; on what...

... Well, if that's true ("vast majority"), which I doubt, then those people are wrong. I'm not anti-Pepsi, even though I prefer Coke. I'm not anti-American if...
Hi nice to hear from you guys again. It's been quiet for awhile. I still haven't gotten back in to the ODP, and still haven't heard what seemed to be their...

XODP stems from Ex-ODP. That is, ex-editors of ODP. There are others in here, including some present editors. However, this group is quite likely to be very...
[Albert Dauray:] ... Which is more or less what I thought you meant, which is why I offered you the information that I did in my original reply. Simply put,...
[Jimmy Wales:] ... But if you were to express a pro-Pepsi opinion in the town of Atlanta, Georgia, you would probably find yourself categorized as anti-Coke. ...
[Warren:] ... This is basically correct, as was the other material following it, which I clipped. However, I think it's important to note that XODP is not...
