Right. There's an endless supply of list-newbies who are happy to post unintentional flame-bait. As Bill said, it gets old after a decade or so.
And I don't think all of the "nonbelievers" are baiters or trollers. A couple of the Europeans seem a bit naive and brainwashed, but they may just need to be exposed to some of the things we in the West have access to for many decades. It's the American trolls I think are beyond salvage. --Tim May "Extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice."--Barry Goldwater
