    Sondra, and all!

    I was deeply moved by your personal testimony, Sondra, and I am
    convinced that such occasional testimonies greatly enrich the quality of
    this list!

    On the other hand, I have much trouble with postings disparaging others
    with whom they disagree. I also often sigh about some topics and
    discussions which I find less than helpful, or with which I strongly
    disagree, but nevertheless I hope Terry will not censor postings too
    severely! There is no easy way to eliminate "less helpful" messages but
    not the "helpful" ones - quite apart from recognizing them!

    As for "science & religion" topics, this field of interest is extremely
    wide. I have the impression that there is not much on this list which
    doesn't have at least some science/religion relevance.

    It might be the easiest way to rapidly walk through an asa-digest to use
    the "find" function to jump to each "Subject:" between reading or
    skipping.

    And, to all: /ceterum censeo/: please delete from your replies the
    irrelevant passages from the copied postings to which you reply! It
    would save a lot of space and some of the readers' time.
