Ah, but how do they know these feelings are godlike?  Have they been
gods that they know the feelings of one.  Why are not feelings like
awe and satisfaction referred to as godlike?  Personally, I feel that
feelings themselves are divine.  Feelings are the universal language
between cultures and even between species.  The feelings humans share
with their pets are an example of the latter, "I hope the Russians
love their children, too" is one of the former.

That depends on what time of day you ask me to join.  Before 11a.m., I'm a
charter member.:-)  I think what happens often is that my left hand responds
just slightly faster than my right one.  So, sometimes I'll tell my hands to
type "gripe", but will get "griep" instead, or something like that...  Other
times, my fingers will type the first letter of the next word as the last 
letter of the previous one.  That one could be interesting....:-)

Luck, and I hope Santa [or whoever] was good to you.  I didn't get software
for Christmas this year, but Santa [or more properly my mother] did bring
a shortwave receiver.  So far all I've managed to pull in are two Spanish
language stations, at least one of which was playing salsa.  I have no idea
where they were broadcasting from.

        In fact I have deep admiration for anyone who is generous as to

        a concept as out of place on this list as deep beliefs.

How little you understand.  You still don't get the point, do you?  Deep
admiration would come from respect for something someone *did*, and clearly
has a reason (unless it's just idle hero-worship or idolatry); but deep
beliefs *by definition* have no reason or justification (otherwise they
would be 'certain knowledge', not 'deep belief').

My sons' father wanted to call his firstborn Peter. I resisted vehemently and
finally got my choice of Christopher. In Uneducated Aussie English, '-er' is
often 'schwa' and 'th' is reduced to 't'; the vowels in my surname also become
an unstressed syllable.... so it was bad enough for me to have to put up with
being called 'Carol in bed' without doing that to my son. :-(

Oh, great.  Looks like I'm the first one to go into the toilet big time!
"Gopher wood"?  What the hell's THAT???  8-)  I supposed when the boat
foundered on the reef the accident report read "Gopher broke?"
I'll take a guess and say Moses, Carolyn.

JMW, who apologizes for not keeping up with things lately...
