- A bit of background; a few days back someone mentioned the possibility
- of Mutlu truly using a keyword searching program to respond; I decided
- to test it. I posted the following message, in scg alone, in reference
- to a new law in south Florida that prohibits animal sacrifice for
- religious or other purposes. (true story from NPR last week)

- Mutlu, this time you've outdone yourself. Here's a translation in Greek:
-
- ST> [Title of article] Paranoid law!
-
- ST> Just so that we don't think Greek laws make no sense, I just read that
- ST> somewhere in the USA the law prohibits sacrifices of animals for
- ST> religious reasons (busybodies...)
-
- ST> So, whenever we slay a turkey for Christmas or a chicken whenever we
- ST> pour the foundation of a house [Greek custom in some areas ]
- ST> are we barbarians? How about sheep?
-
- ST> Great craziness. Basically this message is bait to see if our
- ST> feathered friend is totally automatic or he does it manually. If you
- ST> see a reply [to this message] that means that he searches for key
- ST> words (here's terminology :-)).
-
- ST> Spiros
-
- Of course, to anyone knowing how to read/write Greek, the last
- paragraph was a dead giveaway that this was a Mutlu bait, which of
- course he swallowed with the line and reel. (Just like he did the one
- regarding soc.culture.jewish a few months back). If only "Argic" knew
- how to read/write Greek...
-
- Mutlu, do all of us a favor. Post your crap but don't interfere in
- legitimate discussions. It is not my fault that you get trigger happy
- when one references certain members of the poultry family. It is
- approaching Thanksgiving now, what are you going to do, send e-mail to
- all the groceries telling them to rename their turkeys to
- Thanksgivingpoultry or Christmasbird? Are you going to write letters
- to the editors? Are you going to flame people in rec.cooking for
- posting turkey or chicken recipes? Are you going to picket Butterball
- Turkey Inc. or Kentucky Fried Chicken?
-
- So Hasan B-) Mutlu (we all know where you work now, no need to repeat)
- turn off MUTLU.EXE so we can all live in peace.
