<< Sorry if this next part is condescending, and I am posting in publicly only
so
that no one else has to- Johnny Rea, you need to understand the reality of
newsgroups. In the last several days, I've received 20 + messages from you
in my mailbox, all off topic for the group. If you have clever little
retorts,
you can send them directly to their intended recipients, and not clog the
mailboxes of the hundreds (?) of subscribers. It makes sense that you wanted
to clear up misconceptions about LDS, and you've done that, but this newsgroup
has a purpose and that is not it. Feel free to mail me directly, and can we
bring this discussion back on topic? >>

I have been deleting all of the "Re: Opinions" posts and anything from Johnny
out of hand without reading them at all. That was a lot of deleting. Hope I
didn't miss anything important, but I suspect that I didn't. Fortunately that
still left some other threads to follow that I hope haven't suffered to much
from LDS explosion.

I believe that we were talking some about racial issues, and the name of this
domain. A while back I was talking about supernaturalisms, but I think that
got crowded out by this whole Mormon onslaught. I try to reserve quite a lot
of bandwidth for this newsgroup, but I was almost overwhelmed myself.
