People, please take this issue of your personal beliefs offline to a private conversation.... this is primarily a software development list, not a belief bashing (nor even a belief discovery) list.
There is such a thing as a self-fulfilling prophecy... for instance, I prophesy that if I'm a big enough a** I will be "separated" i.e. thrown off the list too. You see the fact is simply by saying that I may have just caused it to happen! (hopefully you guys will just take the point instead) ;o) Dave
