Lucio, yes, just pulling your leg.....
I misspelt Christao as Christang, I spelt it as it is pronounced. It is a
16th century Portuguese dialect still spoken outside Portugal from the
remnants of their colonies, like in Timor, Macao and Malacca, see
http://thedudetravels.blogspot.com/2008/12/melaka-malacca-malakka-alien-invasion.html
for example. and nothing to do with Christianity or Christians.
And the mothership was a reference to a recent inane frivolous Klingon
thread on this mailing list and not intended to infer the "end times" or
"Armageddon" as believed by some.
It is unfortunate that misunderstandings can happen in an cultural diverse
list but I must say your response has been impeccable despite the
unintended perceptions.
Wish you the best and take care - Goh Lip
