An announcement and an apology.
Firstly, let us be totally clear:
TMC is not about politics.
'Nuff said.
What is this about?
For a long time now TMC has been syndicating "coffee news" (my quotes) from another website (www.aboutcoffee.net) in order to provide interesting content on the front page. However, I have had a number of complaints that the author of this news feed , an American called Robert Badgett , has allowed his content to stray from coffee related matters and into blatant political discussion.
TMC does not want to publish this stuff. Apparently the members don't want us to either, and I don't blame them.
The syndication of the About Coffee news feed has been suspended and replaced with a feed of interesting coffee articles from our friends at "I Need Coffee".
You may recognise a number of the articles too - they're originally from TMC!
