I should have figured as much. Please excuse me, but I am offended by this. I do not appreciate this type of "horseplay". I tend to take life pretty seriously (including e-mail from this group). I can appreciate a little humour now and then, but this was way out of line in my opinion. As it stands, yesterday was my uncle's birthday (I am being quite serious). I regret that I could not find his phone number to call him. Of course I am straying from where I started, which is this, I find such "horseplay" as being malicious and misleading. I can find previous CS-FSLUG e-mail via a google search. I just hope that google doesn't read you "little joke" take offense at it.

Pax,
Christopher Rose

P.S. If Google does contact you, I can write a charactor reference for you to use in court.

> Hi everyone,
> 	Well, it may be true that there is nothing new under the Sun, as the

> has been purchased by Google for a tidy sum that I'll use only for

> 	This is all part of Google's continued attempt to index everything
> -- including as much of God as He will allow. They figured a good
> start would be to buy up services such as ChristianSource to get
> started. Google Christian will also include Blogs4God, GospelCom.net
> and Crosswire.org (which will create a new version of SWORD that has
> integrated Google Earth Bible Maps and also provides search results
> within Google Desktop Search).
> 
> 	I'll be taking a part-time position at Google as part of the
> transition; namely, I'll be the moderator of Google Christian's sci-
> tech related groups, including ones on Linux, Mac OS X and Java. As
> you know Google's normal motto is "Don't Be Evil," but for Google
> Christian, they've adopted a new one: "Be Good."

> will show you the sender's home town in Google Earth. Posts will
> include contextual links to appropriate Bible verses and
> commentaries. You'll also be eligible to be part of the limited beta
> testing group for Blogger Christian.
> 
> 	You may have heard Google also launched Google Romance today. I'm
> pleased to announce the subset of it for Google Christian, Google
> Courtship, will be launched next week. In addition, Google has agreed
> to include Operating System and Bible Translation compatibility in
> their matching profiles so that Google Courtship won't try to match
> CS-FSLUG users with those who use Windows, nor KJV-only folk with
> those who memorize passages from the New Living Translation.

> 	If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.
