        Well, welcome to the Net-- such things are expected in such an open 
and democratioc environment. (Over at sci.skeptic, a lot of us skeptics have 
to put up with pro-paranormalists who accuse us of having closed minds and of 
rigid fanaticism. Happens to everyone here, really.) A section opens on, 
say, Christianity, and you know there'll be people who go on there to bust on 
the Jeezers. Can't avoid it; it's the nature of Usenet.

        You may want to compile a mailinglist for Scientoogists who want to 
keep things among themselves, but if you're joining a newsgroup... well, it's 
open doors for everyone.
