I do now. I have to admit that I speed read here quite a bit and I really
lost the
drift this time.
But isn't cross posting common here? I do not find it all that
irritating, a kind of
'the more the merrier' if you know what I mean. I do understand though
that Bill's
persistent questioning the existence of gods may well be most irritating
to some.
