As Doss knows, we have had regular bombardment from a Christian
fundamentalist on theos-l in the past, as many of us will recall.  Most
people either answered him on his own terms (which he didn't like) or
else ignored him.  Eventually we were all dismissed as children of the
devil or some such and he hasn't been heard from since.  He even gave us
something to think about in theosophical terms, viz., what is the best
way for a theosophically, and therefore hopefully considerate person, to
treat such e-mail and its sender?  IOW, he did us some good, even if we
didn't care for his message.
