Well, I started doing it because some people complained to me that their
religion forbids them from ever deleting the name of the higher power from
their computers as disrespectful (yipes) and it was taking up too much space
on their hard drives. Personally, I think G*d doesn't want us to waste
valuable computer space and would understand, but then I thought what the
heck. It doesn't take any more energy to put in an asterisk instead of an
"o".
