No problem, due to a private request he made in e-mail,
that I never quote him, I put him in my killfile so I'll never
see any of his postings so that I can't accidentally quote
them in a copyrighted e-mail, which is the only kind I send.

No, I'm perfectly happy for everyone to do whatever they believe.
The PROBLEM is that Christians will never quit until everyone
agrees with them. That's why we have a Christian message in
the guy's signature... although there is a remote possibility that
he had intended to supply random humor, there is nothing humorous
about his Christian message.

I'm not offended at that signature, I'm offended that it's in a Linux forum.

In case you didn't notice, I already did. When people stop harrassing
ME for having called "OFF TOPIC" in a Linux forum, and the off topic
postings cease, I'll stay on topic. You CAN count on me to protest
off-topicness, though I'm willing to filter out any e-mail whose subject
starts with "[OT]" and not protest them. I shall implement that now.

But those laws don't apply in either America, or in
the United States, nor here in Hawai`i.

When I joke you'll see a :-)

Mail, fine, there nothing is off topic...
but this isn't one-to-one e-mail, it's a subject oriented forum,
just as every UseNet NewsGroup is a subject oriented forum.
Off Topic postings or parts of postings constitute inappropriate
noise in the database. When the data is to be sorted by subject,
the data needs to occur subject sorted, and religion is offtopic here.

> What you have said and done IS WAY BEYOND the purposes of this list. 

Yes, can we please get back to Linux and off of PoliticoReligio stuff?

Anyone care to respond to my ON-topic postings so that I stop wasting
my time responding to these offtopic postings?

It's done as far as I'm concerned,
until the next posting trying to impose Christianity into my reality
via a Linux forum.
