     It's OK, Lauren.  I, too, am getting tired of it.  But, you'll
     notice it's usually caused by someone new to the list that hasn't
     learned our 'rules' yet.  So, when I read my mail, and see that
     it is from someone who has a reputation for bashing, I delete it
     even before I read it.  It turns out I haven't missed anything,
     because I never did read the messages you've refered to.  Call it
     simplistic, but it does improve the quality of the list.  I still
     know what's going on, because it has to get people very irate,
     justifiably.

     TO THE BASHERS OF THIS LIST:
       Stop it.  Go home.  Or stay and learn how to get along.  That
     means you will not be able to question a person's Christianity,
     nor their personhood.  Life is alot nicer, actually, when that
     happens.  And people will actually read your mail!

     Love,
     Deb
