Actually, what's going on is that you have certain immovable opinions based on those observable, measurable facts, not quite the same thing. Speaking of religion which ought, at some time, to include sin and leading one into temptation and all that, combined with DDB's firmly held opinions: I've just discovered that my email client at work is not configured the way I have it configured at home. i.e. I haven't been paying attention. I've you've received an email from me on this thread, it was intended to go to the list, not to be sent privately. You are free to forward it to the list if you like, or not.
