In this case, she sent me a private email with one line of useful message and several lines of URLs to religious sites, with instructions to "check this". I replied via private email that I found that material offensive. She then decided to take my comments to the list and call it bad customer support. Please note she is the one who took it from private email to this list, not me. Further, I have never included any comments about this in any signature I've used. Perhaps I should start. I have responded to others posting that offensive material in their messages. I am offended that people believe in some fairy tale and pronounce it reality. Of course, they are the favoured or chosen people and everyone else is a heathen or worse. Anyone that posts religious comments is fair game for criticism, because they are promoting their delusion. If they have a right to post it, then I have the right to object. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
