Obviously this means that I am virulently anti-Episcopalian, since (among
my friends) I am always poking fun at my church.  Really, Rich, this is the
silliest excuse for rational argument I've seen.  Poking fun at a group
doesn't necessarily signify anything.  [Enter :-) mode]  And besides, Rich,
you've illustrated my point so well.  All I have to do to see if news is
working in your neck of the woods is to post anything to net.religion.*. 
Besides, I now have a really good idea of what you consider to be
Jew-baiting.  [Exit :-) mode]
