Everyone (even Christians :->) have the right to choose to whom they will speak. If I don't WANT to talk in front of you, you have no reason to butt in. So if personal mail is at all legal, it is legal for people to send their mail to whomever they choose, and not send it to whomever they choose not to send it to. Ken Arnold P.S. This is not a comment on whether there should be a net.religion.christian. I tend to think there should be, though.
