    Well, the issue on this newsgroup is the cult of scientology,
    not gender baiting or working mothers.

    The only connection to the cult is that Clark's ex-husband
    (the one suing for custody of the children) is a scieno.
    Coincidentally, the two were married by a scieno minister
    ... the same man who shot her first husband ... who was
    *also* a scieno.

    Now keep it under 55.
