All, I guess any discussion that rubs the wrong way isn't welcome. Just use the delete key and "no comment". How enlightening that approach is! I have my own relligious beliefs which are personal and normally kept private. Maybe I misunderstood the mission of this list. I thought it was to be used soley for PD related topics. (Check the archives for recent messages from the moderator-censor). If not, then why does SPARKLE exist? If you can convince me that silicon based life forms have anything whatsoever to do with PD then maybe I'm wrong. Greg
