If Christians, for whatever reason, send evangelistically oriented =
messages to a newsgroup with a name like za.humour then they have only =
themselves to blame if they get back stuff that offends them. It offends =
me that they send their garbage out in the first place! If you really =
feel that we're not "grown-up" enough then perhaps you should ask =
yourself a) if you should be subscribing yourself, b) who made you an =
international policeman.
