I have to add in my two cents worth!

I am but a teen. I go to a Catholic school, but am not Catholic. They
teach Religion, which I do NOT believe is shoving it down my throat. Though
I am not quite sure as to what I believe in(I.E: Is there a God?), but I do
know that if the faculty and staff were constantly posting invitations to be
Catholic around the school, I would be a bit irritated.

I haven't seen Tracy's signature, but if it is as bad as people are making
it out to be, then I think we need to figure out the problem, and get this
whole thing over with. But, if in fact the people I have heard of ARE
over-reacting, then, I think Tracy can do what he/she wants. Now, like I
just read, the Internet is an experiment of free speach. I, personally,
would like this list to keep clarinet oriented, but some people can express
their own opinion. Though this is a weird example, I think it resembles to
what I am trying to say. It's like buying a clarinet. Some people prefer
one brand, some prefer others. Now, if someone asked advice, then he/she
would get many different points of view. Which, to me is helpful. So, I
guess what I'm trying to say is that Tracy is one of those advice-givers.
She is expressing her point of view. And everyone is free to. Though, like
I said, I would like to keep the list to clarinets. So, I think that Tracy
should save her opinion, because is not what we're trying to talk about.
This is a clarinet list, not an express-your-faith list. We all REALLY DO
respect your opinion, Tracy. But, seeing as you are the first to bring up
this subject, I don't think many people are trying to listen. So what's the
point?

I hope this helps. Because, I think the list should just stop this all
together!!
