    Please drop the religious argument. My decision was based on months of
    experience, not a single email. I'm most concerned that we are allowing
    ourselves to be so distracted by it. If you don't like it, don't use
    it. If you like it, use it. If you don't like those that don't like
    it, please keep it to yourself.
