   theoretically, yes.  thanks for taking the time, but ...   
      
   if you're the sort of person who bothers to spend time thinking   
   through these things, then my "provocative" sig was probably   
   not meant for you.  but if you're so offended by the sig as   
   it now stands, so much so that i end up on your kill file, i   
   won't mind.  might as well.  i don't think i'll miss much.   
   AFAIK, my newsreader does not have a killfile, but i do mentally   
   have whitelists and blacklists.

   I ask, becos I'm curious.   
      
   Just answer the damn question, not the questioner!  Don't   
   presume.  My personal matters/beliefs are none of your   
   business.  I ask, you answer.  If you think I am stupid,   
   you have already proven that you are stupid, not me.  If   
   you don't know the answer, can you please "pass" to other   
   people to answer?  thanks.
