Sure - but I will still respond as I originally did if I come across more

by one standard definition of 'proselytize'/'proselytise' your last
"ise" is English English not Yankee English . . clueless . .
ah, guess you missed the clue I was being inclusive.
several posts are guilty of it.
Then you don't understand what the word means.
I take my clue from the OED:
1. intr. To make, or seek to make, proselytes or converts; In extended
use: to act as an advocate or proponent of something.
2. trans. To convert or attempt to convert from one opinion,
religion, or party, etc., to another
[...]
As someone else pointed out - this was NOT a signature - it was a SERMON and
completely inappropriate and offensive to me and others (and NOT because of
the particular superstition being proselytised).
granted, it wasn't a signature and also the content is inappropriate.
so glad this has been settled.
