<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>If Christians, for whatever reason, send
evangelistically oriented messages to a newsgroup with a name like za.humour
then they have only themselves to blame if they get back stuff that offends
them. It offends me that they send their garbage out in the first place! If you
really feel that we're not "grown-up" enough then perhaps you should
ask yourself a) if you should be subscribing yourself, b) who made you an
international policeman.</FONT></DIV>

<BR>This type of "humour" is actually offensive to a large
population (we are on air world-wide, ok?) and has no place in a
professional user group such as this. <BR>Cheap shots about religious
figures may constitute harassment in many legal jurisdictions around the
world, when the material ends up in company or government email banks.
But it shouldnt be necessary to refer to legal restrictions - commonsense
and courtesy are surely sufficient in an educated international group.
<P>Regards to all, <BR>Michael Asten <BR>Flagstaff GeoConsultants <BR>
