I am sorry that you are unable to get past a few typos and grammer.  If I
had the time to worry about such things I would, but I don't . YOu suggest
I try reading the posts. Try it yourself,I never even came close to
claiming that N. was an athiest from the cradel.  If you find it hard to
take me seriously with all of my typo's , why do you bother to respond to
me.  Obviously you either a: take me seriously despite these or b: have
more time to waste than I do.

Have a hoot ,if you can
M.E.
