Yes, of course, you're right. Thanks for the reminder. I signed up at a religious-topic chat room and was not inspired to go back after the first couple visits. If you're expressing your views to people who you don't know, it doesn't carry the same interest level. Now that I've made some friends here, the sparks should really start flying. Only kidding. From now on, I'm going to reply on topics such as religious/philosophical blah blah using the sender's single email address, rather than posting for the list.
