I can't for the life of me see why we'd have to deal with it in the course
of our jobs beyond calling someone and having them install more A/C.  This
is, flat-out, off topic.

I can see why you've concluded that. My final phrasing was indeed
ambiguous. I would have hoped that the rest of my carefully
non-partisan post would have offset that ambiguity.

"If it's a politically-generated thing I'll have to deal with at an
operational level, it's on topic."

That work?

That is indeed what I was trying to say - thanks, Ken.
