FWIW:  "What he said!" with just one exception:  I'm pretty uncomfortable
with the notion of "a total ban" on any subject...  but *PLEASE*, let's all
show some restraint and see if we can keep the "religious discussions" (and
in my opinion, that's anything where personal preference or "pure faith"
dictates whether about philosophy, politics, disc vs "disk", vi vs emacs,
or even *gasp* religion) to a minimum.  Please?  :)
