Bah, humbug!  The person I was replying to has identified herself with
a group called "Heathen Atheist Scum Alliance".  Their appelation,
not mine.  Besides, as I explained in email, I am well aware of the
differences between heathens, atheists, non-Christians, and agnostics.
I don't even consider "heathen" an insult, for crying out loud!!

I refuse to litter every one of my postings with dozens of those fucking 
":-)"'s just to appease people whose parody detectors are out of commission.

Trust me, when I mean to insult you, you'll KNOW.

Happy Solstice,
