      I have asked Sid  why it matters so much to him what anyone else   
   believes? Maybe he feels he/she is saving the world from an evil cult?   
   There have been others like this, before.  Though I know some groups that   
   actually seem to be ripping people off (financially) and tricking them and   
   collecting money for this, that might seem more like cults. The dfference   
   is, the newsgroups are unmoderated and thus "safe" for anyone to write on.   
   And everyone on them has a choice in what they read, respond to, or how.   
   Self-moderation, and learning one's own lessons, as it should be. Sid is   
   actually an excellent teacher in this.
