I'd suggest you calm down a bit, before this gets out of hand.
A couple of days ago you dubbed me a Christian, although I've never 
expressed any religious views on this list.
Now you're telling me how a concert programme in Gothenburg was set, 
implying that I was overly persuasive etc.
I admire your knowledge in matters of record collection, production, 
reproduction, cleaning, packaging, tasting, filing, playing and a thousand 
other aspects, and I guess we all do, including yourself. But that doesn't 
make you omnipotent. And it definitely doesn't put you in a position where 
you can throw around wild guesses about other persons' religious beliefs or 
conduct.
That gets close to violating net privacy and integrity, which we all should 
be able to enjoy on this list. Including Tom, BTW, whose decision not to 
mention his second name is none of your business either.
