I have to agree, too, that I was a bit surprised when I first
saw this signature line. (e.g. "Does he mean Zaeon is in Zion?
as in Jews? Surely he can't be serious!") I decided he wasn't
serious, but still didn't know why the line was there until
the first flame letter acknowledged that it was from the episode
about the Nazis. Then it made sense (at least the origin made
sense).

Then what came to mind after reading the extremely polite
and reasonable flame letter was a verse from the Bible (I
don't remember the exact reference, but I think it's in...
either Romans or one of the Gospels):

	Whatever is good, whatever is true, whatever is
	beautiful, think on these things.

Seems like good advice to me!

(Note: I don't apply the verse to mean ignore the negative things
and they'll go away; I apply it to mean that I don't have to help
spread negative things around, and in fact I can help (with God's
help) spread positive things around, and that's more fun anyhow.)
