<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Yeah, look, buddy, "its important" to note that there is a community</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> out there who sincerely believe in the transformative effects of a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> personal relationship with Jesus. But they're a little more</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> considerate than you are --- they recognize that that kind of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> discussion is off-topic for this mailing list, and so they don't post</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> here about it. Ads for, and protests against, Microsoft clustering</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> software are not any more on-topic.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> There are general interest clustering fora. This is not among them.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> This mailing list is specifically about Beowulfs; people who are here</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> are here because they want to build Beowulfs. Don't waste our time</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> with your silly holy wars.</FONT>
