Funny stuff. I was perusing the later messages and thinking that "the
topic" had widened up.

Never heard of a usanian.

Once you start speaking the truth around here, you get branded a "troll".
(this is not argumentation; this is cold, hard, fact)

Get used to it. Live it! Enjoy it!

Don't worry - you (s0suk3) do eventually get branded "troll".
Feel honored by this!

Encore! Encore!

A note re: your last (Bible study). I know many of you already know
this, but the newbies need to be alerted. The fact is that many (most?)
of the regs here are in fact, in real life, bible thumpers (the kind of
idiots currently running the US government). This should come as no
surprise (as what they preach here is very much like a real world religon).

I come here to read news from the C perspective and endure the opinion of
others that think I turn to stone as the sun rises. I don't get stoned
before 4:20, unless x is in texas.
