[Tfug] Religious crap

Gentlemen,

I am not religious but I am more diplomatic than to label religion as crap.

I joined this list because I wanted to learn more about Unix/Linux/etc. The
current thread does not help me learn what I came here for. I will cancel my
subscription but I wanted to let the members of this group know why before I
depart. Otherwise the list may continue to shrink without anyone knowing the
reasons why. Perhaps people "...ask to be removed" as a way of giving the
other members feedback.
