[QUOTE=mkl12]  
Monavis, all this whooshing is not because anybody thinks you’re wrong, but because nobody even thought this might be a real message from the catholic church, so your investigation in titles and names isn’t neccessary.[/QUOTE

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Wow. Just… wow.

ETA: Although it would be cool if what we just saw here was actually **monavis** performing the never-before-seen triple reverse whoosh on _everyone_. 😃

I was spammed by the Catholic Church for the first 16 years of my life.

Then I found the “Block” feature.

If you ever get spam saying it’s from Jews or Muslims, you KNOW it’s a fake. 😃
