I think he is a provisional member and cannot express his own ideas.
Provisional membership in the LRNA takes up to 3 years before you become a
full member. Part of becoming a full member involves sending 3000 off-topic
posts to a listserv. Mike is up to post number 1875.

Serve the people? God, I haven't heard that term since Gerald Ford was
president.

No, they are not personal. In a way, I'd prefer that they were personal.
Then at least I would have felt like I was in contact with a human being
rather than a bot.

Frankly, I don't mind sectarianism in the proper venue. I actually have
engaged Jehovah's Witnesses in debate in the past when I am in the proper
mood. But why here of all places?

I didn't expect a comment on it myself. But whatever...
