[There is no rest for the bug] A radical thought just occurred to me [BICKFORD THINKING RADICAL THOUGHTS? WHAT IS NET.RELIGION COMING TO? -ED]: noting that tempers are becoming more extreme in both directions, that things are degenerating so far that too much is construed as personal attacks (although neither intended nor desired that way), and that all of us (well, most of us) have a lot of things we'd rather be doing, especially during the summer and with the family - I propose deactivating net.religion for the summer. If we get around to resuming it in the fall, hopefully a lot of things will be milder and it won't be an imitation of net.flame or net.politics. I got into this group because someone had a question about whether or not the Bible told of a certain event happening. I would have remained at that level except the war had already started and a lot of misinformation was being spread about what the Bible said. I gladly remain available by e-mail for any questions about what the Bible says on a particular subject (not what *I believe* but what is written). Respond by mail or to the net. Mailed ones will be summarized and posted. -- The Ice Floe of Larry Bickford {decvax,ihnp4,allegra,ucbvax}!{decwrl,sun}!qubix!lab decwrl!qubix!lab@Berkeley.ARPA
