However, you may have a specific, targeted application for which this is an
appropriate behavior. Assuming this is the case, I'll answer your question,
but only if you promise to always consult the documentation, knowledgebase,
and forum archives before posting your question to the development forum,
and that you cease all further use of the "GOD Bless!!!" tagline as has been
asked of you, repeatedly, noting that its further use may result in
revocation of your forum posting privileges.

Dear Mr. Schram --
I agree that DrumBSF appears to be strongly RTFM-challenged. Should he
continue to not take advantage of the other resources available to him
(including forum search at the eScribe archives and the PalmOS
knowledgebase) I would support your revoking his posting priveledges until
he learns better.
However, I can not support revoking his priveledges because of his tag line.
That smacks of religious discrimination. You may as well revoke my posting
priviledges because my tag line is not 100% accurate as to the speed of
light ... or because I express it in miles per hour instead of meters per
second.
Moreover, banning somebody because of religious expression may open your
company to a lawsuit. I would suggest that you carefully consider your
options here, and perhaps restate the causes for which you might decide to
revoke posting priviledges.
So mote it be!
