While I am not exactly sure what that had to do with this newsgroup,
I find it slightly bizarre that the reactions should be so negative and
vehement. Especially the latter, coming from someone involved in
education. If your students could hear you now...
I can understand people complaining about things like MAKE.MONEY.FAST,
but get a grip! Perhaps the religious association of the original post
was weird, though...
