Folks, I have a suggestion about this Heavenly Host garbage.

Ignore them.

They can't do any *real* damage to you, or to this mailing list, unless we
allow them to.

>From now on, let's pretend Heavenly Host doesn't exist. If they start
making trouble, just ignore them. When they realize that they're not going
to provoke us, they'll go away.


I couldn't agree with Lurker more on this one, the object of the kind of
activity that the so-called "Heavenly Host" are into is to get people
pissed off and fighting with each other. And if people start getting
jittery and paranoid, it just makes things easier for them.

If someone fake posts in _your_ name, then you do something about it.
Otherwise, just let the "Heavenly Host" die through lack of attention.

Okay, rant over.
