This response was priceless!  Has anybody thought of cross-posting it to
alt.brother-jed?

Seriously, though, people who SCREAM AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS
or else DO MOST OF THEIR POSTING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS really are
showing signs, IMHO, of losing a majority of their marbles.  Not to
mention, _why_ are you on here?  Are them bad, awful ol' Satanists
crowding you out of your own newsgroups, Jed-clone?
