Wendy, I don't think a firestorm will erupt as long as people are discussing and searching for answers with an open mind. If it breaks down to preaching and hellfire and damnation then it will be a firestorm. I will certainly stop my discussion at that point. Preaching is not a discussion. It does seem to me this discussion has remained within the bounds of the mission of this board. Frank cg.
