No. We just want to make sure you don't get side tracked. I hope all
this talk about researching the liturature is for real. I would hate to
be disapointed (I love a good argument). Anyway I think you may be
going a little to far. It's not the little detals that are going to
kill you; it's the big things.

My son (Stephen) cannot yet speak. It would indeed be "A touch of
brilliance" if he were to say such a thing! In any case any plagerism
that has occured was totally unintentional. I was completely unaware of
the above sources when I wrote the line in question. I cannot help but
agree that it describes both this groop and the net.

Perhaps. I haven't so far. Christians have no monopoly.
