I think Chug thinks that I, Ken Nichols, wrote the above flame about Chug
when in fact it was Ken Arndt.  Although I don't believe in your religuous
system, I wouldn't make such a personal attack on you.  Ken Arndt is an
athiest or agnostic or one of those.  He is not a Christian.  Please don't
confuse us.
