   I've only had it happen once where I received both a reply to an echomail   
   message and then also a local message on my board complaining about a tagline   
   I used.  It was in reference to Jesus and I guess he found it insensitive.    
   This was back in the late 90s.   
      
   What's funny is, most of the taglines I added to messages were randomly   
   selected and added automatically.  After more than one person pointed out that:   
      
   A. That was not part of my message   
   B. It was randomly selected   
      
   He calmed down a bit after that, but still asked that I remove that tagline   
   from my taglines list...   
      
   The offending tagline can be found at the bottom of this message.

   ... We love Jesus, yes we do. Baked or broiled or in a stew.
