Rick's recent big spate of religious posts is clearly off-topic, and I 
wish he would stop.  I am not against a bit of off-topic discussion in a 
newsgroup - I think it adds colour and interest.  But it has to be very 
much in the minority, and contained neatly in a single thread at a time 
- people who don't like that discussion can then easily mark the thread 
as "ignored".  Ricks posts here have been far outside the levels that I 
think are acceptable - that's why I have avoided replying to them.

However, forging posting credentials is, IMHO, a worse "crime".  It is 
easy to identify and ignore Rick's religious posts - it would become 
very hard if we could not trust the names of the authors of posts.  I'm 
glad it is not going to become a habit.

And it would be nice if Rick accepted that he is not going to convince 
anyone in c.l.c. to join his cult at the moment, and moved off to more 
fertile grounds for a while.  I'd recommend sci.electronics.design.
