RussellT, please stop crossposting off-topic material about
global warming to religion newsgroups. Please take control
over where your posts go rather than letting someone else
control you like a pathetic puppet.

perhaps cross posts to religion newsgroups is an attempt to educate
religious people about envirionmental issues? After all, far, far too
may religious people blindly accept environmental destruction with the
idea that God is somehow going to fix everything for them.

That theory might be valid if he was crossposting to a newsgroup
dedicated to one of the more fundamental religions, but Quakers
are already very well educated on environmental issues and have
been in the forfront of protecting the environment for hundreds
of years. See, for example, http://www.quakerearthcare.org/ and
http://journal.earthwitness.org/about-ew/ This is not to say
that it's OK to post about environmentalism in a Quaker newsgroup,
of course. You wouldn't want the environmental newsgroups flooded
with posts about quakerism...

The reason that David Christainsen keeps crossposting to the
quaker group is there is because he is trying to destroy it
by flooding it with off-topic posts about global warming.
Why does he want to hurt the Quakers? Because he was expelled
from a Quaker meeting for being disruptive.

When you reply to the same newsgroups, letting David Christainsen
control where your posts go, you help him in his ongoing quest to
destroy soc.religion.quaker. If you delete s.r.q from the
"Newsgroups:" line, you will be doing the Quakers a huge favor.

It also should be noted that the basic concept of "they need to
be educated so it is OK to post to their newsgroup" is the battle
cry of those who wish to make every newsgroup a newsgroup about
abortion, gun control, US politics, Jesus, global warming, etc.
If it's OK for us to post off-topic posts about the environment
in newsgroups that are dedicated to other topics, is it OK for
someone else to flood this newsgroup with posts about abortion
or Obama?
