list of agnostics

[Keith Davis]

I haven't been here that long, but people have been very gracious. I've
been shot down a few times, but found that I asked for it! and, it made me
think more clearly about the issue or issues at hand. Don't take it
personally, or turn it into a personal issue, and there are lots of things
to learn here. As if I know anything...

Oh, and by the way, I spoke to "Tom", as someone so presumptively (is that
a word?) referred to him recently, on the "Red Phone" the other day, and he
said to tell "that Lemuel character" to F--- Off!

Just kidding!!
