Originally I had planned to just respond to this privately.  Which I
already did this morning.  After thinking about it a bit I decided that
if you want to slam me publicly then I should respond publicly.  So,
I've copied my private response to here.  Other than this small
paragraph no other changes have been made - as you know full well being
in receipt of both versions:

** my response **

You know, I'm working on my first cup of coffee and not too sure what it
is that you're referring to.  If you're referring to my "random sig"
generator having put something out there at the bottom of a message that
you didn't like - oh well.  

Of course I haven't been "where you've been" - nor have you been where
I've been.  I will say this.  I am Pagan.  Wiccan to be more precise.  I
neither *need* - nor *want* - to be "saved" for your precious Jesus
Christ..

If you want to leave religion at the door and go from there OK.  This is
the first email I've gotten from you and I'm not really pleased to be
slammed publicly when you don't even know me, or anything about me.

Get a grip - or get lost - your choice.
