Many other people sign their appends with "<><", bible verses, etc.
Every append, mind you, not just once in a while. I don't sign my
appends "I'm an atheist", but I guess I could start. Nor have I
suggested that people should take every append with "<><" in it to
off-topic, but I guess I could start. I felt that clarifying my position
on Christmas (given the long thread that has been running in off-topic
about my belief system, dunno why it's so long, exactly) in **one** post
was rather mild.
Perhaps you need to examine your own feelings... are you that paranoid
about Christianity that you need to jump on people that point out that
they aren't? Cast in the light I just shed, aren't your remarks really
rather silly?

And I in turn thought your post was uncalled for as well. Please don't
pass judgement on my conduct, thanks, especially in a backhanded way
like the above. Next you'll be telling me I can't put "I'm a
Libertarian" in my signature either.

- This is a family newsgroup, thanks.
- I'm a Libertarian and I'm an atheist. Deal.
