Mike,
You seem to have some juxtapositional God issues, passing out blessing in the name of God like some apostle.
I have to say: NICE troll! Seems to have struck the nerve you aimed at! I can't wait for your next driveling troll bait.

Fortunately. :-)
Consider instead Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II, or Billy Graham, and one might get the opposite impression.

How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
You know, I was asked that by another person just the other day. I'll give you the same answer I gave him. I prefer to think of myself as a Primitive Animist. I have nothing against Wiccans, but I prefer not to be tied down to a dogma. Besides this view of the world can be argued on a specious scientific basis rather than on leaps of faith. ;-) Dave in Fairfax

Do they weigh the same as a duck?

What makes you think they'll be there?

Or not. All three of those are or were driven people, which sometimes make them less than a joy to be around.

The _actual_ standard is DASH-DASH-SPACE on a line with -nothing- else, as the delimiter for the start of the signature. The trailing 'space'
*IS* important to most newsreader software.
The only reason I want to go to heaven is that I figger it'll be less crowded.

Hi, Peter,
If I can remember my Hamish Imlach, he had something to say on that score in "The Derry and Cumberland Boys":-
The Derry Boys are Roman Catholics Tae the Mass they've been once or twice, And Parkheid is their new Jerusalem, And Jock Stein's their latter-day Christ.
The Cumbie boys are devout Christians, They're awfy religious ye see, Their language it too is religious: "Oh ma Goad", "Jesus Christ", "FTP!"
When asked what they think o religion They'll say "Aw religions aw right" But these guys are only religious When they want an excuse for a fight
So don't wear a green scarf in Brigton Or a blue scarf in Cumberland Street Unless yer name's Mohammed Ali, Or yer helluva quick on yer feet!
I'd agree that a lot of it is simply tribal, but, equally, a lot of it in NI is down to organised crime - the Godfathers on both sides are doing quite nicely out of the Troubles. Nocht tae dae wi' releegion or Freedum Frae The Saxon Oppressor at a'.
For our friends in the US, remember that last bit when someone shaking a collection tin in a bar asks you to contribute to NORAID or the UVF....
< jock rock and political rant mode off>Cheers

Mmmmm, tastes like Wiccan!
Whether anyone agrees or not, it doesn't work that way. It's been too many years since I read up on the intricacies of newsgroup creation and whatnot, but to the best of my knowledge, the most you could hope to achieve would be the creation of a new, separate group. Something like rec.crafts.woodworking.moderated.
As to whether or not that's a worthy goal, moderated newsgroups pretty much universally suck. Something about moderation takes the life out of a crowd faster than any number of trolls. For proof, find any pair of newsgroups where there's a moderated and an unmoderated version. Read them both for a bit and see for yourself. Every time I've done this in the past, I've always wound up staying with the unmoderated group and dialing up my squelch.
Let's see-

Yeah, they might annoy you when the time comes.

Have you ever met a duck that weighed 200 pounds?
What wood was it made from?
Geez... Doesn't anyone 'round here watch Python?
