It's truly sad, that in light of the Heavenly Host scare, members of this
ML have already resorted to witch hunts. 

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.
I missed Lurker's original post. And yes, they -can- do you real
damage--faked, offensive and otherwise bad emails in your name can get
people to talk to your postmaster--and that could very well result in your
losing your email.

If someone fake posts in _your_ name, then you do something about it.
Otherwise, just let the "Heavenly Host" die through lack of attention.
What, don't you want to help your friends and associates? Ignoring them is
fine--but we also have to present a unified front.
IF they're real (and I have no reason to assume they're false.)
