- I agree completely, but I feel that rather than discussing the question
- of relevance, which just adds to the overall clutter, it might be better
- for those of us who feel strongly about this issue to send mail to each
- poster of what we consider to be an off-topic article, stating our feeling
- "gently but firmly."
-
- I am very interested in knowing what Eastern traditions have to say about
- out-of-body experiences, but, like Lorenzo, I do not feel it is appropriate
- to just post religious tracts in this newsgroup which have no direct bearing
- on OBE subjects.
