Fair enough, obviously stopping all such discussions would be pointless.
We all have our pet hobby-horses and want to flog them. But some
self-restraint is called for -- in the past week we have had 10 posts on
religion which are clearly off-topic, all from the same person. It's not
as if they talked about the canonisation of Fr. Vaz or some temple being
built in Goa, which would be on-topic. I responded to Roland's mail on
this issue, only when we started getting 1-2 of these religious mail a
day, which in my opinion is excessive. Why not 1-2 daily mails on the
Flying Spaghetti Monster, in that case? Maybe I should start spreading
the good word on Goanet. While I consider the advisability of this,
those who cannot wait any longer for the true word and complete
enlightenment, visit http://www.venganza.org/
