Try to be a little more sensitive. Hey, recovering from a major psychological problem *is* a big deal, and I try to be as supportive as I can of people doing so. Somebody who had thought better of god, and was having trouble adjusting, certainly falls into that sort of category, and I hope I'd be supportive of them. On the other hand, I don't want to be an enabler. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info
