Rick,

you write your religious messages, and I encourage you to continue with that. Read them as many times as you feel for.

But, please don't press "Send" after having written them. I find your preaching messages extremely offending and way off topic, and I know for sure that many agree with me. I come hear for technical reasons, I don't bother other people with my personal thoughts. I would respect you more if you refrained from your preaching.
