This article does not exist for the purpose of advertising for any candidate for political office. The external link to the democratic candidate Christine Cegelis's website is inappropriate. I find it interesting that Goethean, who on his user page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Goethean seems to be SO concerned about being neutral, found it necessary to include it. Where is the link to the republican candidate's web site? I have decided the only neutral thing to do is to delete it again.

[edit] Picture

I reverted the deletion of the picture of Hyde & Snodgrass. There was no reason given for its deletion on the talk page. Also it was not described in the edit summary. If there was a valid reason for its removal, please let me know. Otherwise, I think it should remain. 01:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

That's a great picture--it's a classic, I remember seeing it in his office. EZZIE 08:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hyde

People under-rate this guy, he's one of the best "old school" reps left in the entire house. (repost of deleted comments) EZZIE 07:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

From here:

Wikipedians generally oppose the use of talk pages just for the purpose of partisan talk about the main subject. Wikipedia is not a soapbox; it's an encyclopedia. In other words, talk about the article, not about the subject. It's only the habits we encourage that keep Wikipedia from turning into a slanging match. See also: Wikiquette

I understand where you guys are coming from on this, but discussing the subject matter is just as necessary as discussing the article on the subject matter... but that's my belief. EZZIE 06:47, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a chat room or USENET. I could give my views on Hyde — which differ diametrically from yours — and then we could get into a shouting match. But I don't misuse Wikipedia by expressing my views on subjects here, only on articles. I request that you show a little bit of respect for this website by doing the same. — goethean ॐ

Agreed. Wikipedia isn't a place to chat it up or discuss anything not having to do with the article itself --OMG LAZERS 16:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
