Uh, I think David Iain Greig (who is not new to net.*, if memory
serves) is pulling your (our) chain.

And quite entertainingly, I might add. And I don't even know the
real Woody. Nor want to, I suspect.

Hmm, I'm just as eager as the next person to try to get this group
back on topic, but I don't know if we're (yet) desperate enough to
turn to scientology. I mean, we've just barely scratched the
surface. Atheist vs. Christian and various attempts at Christian
vs. Christian are all well and good, but we've hardly scratched the
surface of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, &c. ;>

Woody -- if you are in fact the Scientology apologist of that name who

hangs out in alt.religion.scientology, please get lost. Net.religion.*
isn't intended for trolls. :/ (Although I guess they're ok in
net.religion.flame.) ;>

Indeed. But you'd have to be a regular on a.r.s. to get it.

The real 'woody' was a rather inane spambot with broken spelling,
and I recall he used _argumentum ad CAPSLOCK_ freely. Formerly
see on .r.s. a couple years ago. Sort of the prototype pro-COS
spammer.
