The pilot light on my flame gun is twitching...

1. How do you know they/we are guys?
2. I doubt Jesus is going to sue.
3. You are not "on air"; much as it gives your South-African soul a buzz to
feel global, this is a discussion group, not a radio show.
4. This is not email; refer to previous point.
5. What legal restrictions? "May constitute harassment"?  <snorts in
derision>
6. Get your head out of your arse and go find a moderated group.
