There was a post on the usenet photography list, recently. An online backup

Yeah, and you believe that some nut in NY dug up some golden plates
buried by early inhabitants of this continent that came from the
Middle East despite conclusive DNA evidence that early Americans came
across the Bering Strait. This same nut then had a "revelation" that
allowed him to take multiple wives. You believe that God is punishing
black-skinned people because of sins they committed in the
pre-existence before this world was even created and that's why the
Mormon church denied them the right to hold the priesthood until
another convenient "revelation" lifted the priesthood ban but
curiously did not lighten their skin. You believe in marriage vows
that included pledges of submission by the women to their husbands on
penalty of death until recently when they were changed. Was that
another "relevation"? You believe that everyone who was ever born must
be baptized on this earth by proxy and that's why the Church does
genealogy, yet there is no explanation for how you are ever going to
get the names of all of the people for whom there are no records.

So, I plan to put a lot of weight in what you think about anything.
