Dave,

I don't think Hyram was objecting to religion being discussed on air 
among a special interest group.  What is an issue, however is bringing 
up religious material in the FISTS Mailman Group  that should be 
entirely secular.

It's not a case of political correctness, just good manners.  I wouldn't 
express my views on religion and religious matters here, you would and 
some others might, find them offensive.

Vy 73 and a Happy New Year to all
