As a left-wing gay Wiccan Pagan in favor of a woman's right to choose who 
helped to adapt the Ten Commandments of Email for HPFGU, *I* hope that the 
folks on this list who are truly concerned about the societal issues 
concerned with homosexuality and alternate lifestyles, religion or lack 
thereof, gender rights and other political issues spend time thinking about 
those issues instead worrying if they're going to offend me.
