Oops! That is just the sort of statement I usually edit out. In the
confusion and business of yesterday or whatever, I let it go out by
accident. First of all, I wish to retract the above statement that Jim
Johnson was so kind :-) to point out. That is not the sort of statement I
wish to make. First of all, it is so simply disprovable as to be patently
silly. :-) Secondly, I fear it may have given the impression that I was
insinuating that the original poster was immoral. This is _not_ what I
wanted to say. So, I also want to publicly apologize to Jeremy for what my
comment seems to insinuate. I do not believe that you are immoral, nor that
people, just because they are irreligious or non-religious, are immoral. I
should not have let that statement out, and there is no excuse for it--not
even if it were, as John said, "written in the heat of the moment" (which,
btw, it wasn't, but was written between many other tasks) :-)
