Well thanks, Scottie. What clinched it for me is what is happening on the
other listserve. I'm getting along fine with everyone there. But there are
two guys -- a theist Philosophy professor and one of the Egoists (a very
intelligent, well spoken atheist who has the wonderful quality of
understanding almost everything you write to him) -- whose posts are usually
nothing more than an exchange of insults and are very low on the content
side. I read them all and they really started getting tedious to read. I
can't stand the thought of continuing to inflict that on this group, and
since I'm more interested in ideas than in argument I wouldn't be getting
much out of it myself anyhow.
But, lemme tell ya, I REALLY appreciate your comments about tight-assed
obsessionals... :)
