Careful now!  I thought the purpose of this net was to exchange information, not slander someone's religious preferences and beliefs.  While I can see that if 
this comment were made face-to-face with the right attitude it might  come 
accross as being funny, on something as impersonal as a computer screen it seems to only be a slam against what over 8 million people in this world (yes, I'm
one of them) hold to be very sacred.  So please, think before you write!

I agree!  I must confess ignorance with regards to the ":-)" convention
as I hadn't seen it before.  Now that I can see that I was probably the only
person on the net who didn't see the humourous intent and I'm sorry if I came
on too strong!  Again, I AM SORRY!!

** I agree Mr. Bannister. I didn't know the convention of the sideways smiley
face, so now I see where I am probably the only person on the net who didn't see
the humourous intention.  I owe you an apology for comming on too strong!
  So, Mr. Bannister, I appologize!
