Is there anything I can do via Gmail or some other setting to filter this one thread out, I'm not LDS don't really care about BYU, don't really care about mormons (nothin personal, I have lots of mormon friends), the mormon church or the whole LDS experience. I do however care about my local Linux Users Group, and would kinda like to keep my information about the Provo Linux Users Group seperate from theological debate. Linux is enough of a religion for me thank you very much. All hail the mighty Tux! http://www.p42.org/Terrible/Tux_wallpaper_by_kdaver.jpg
