Whoops! You can drop me from that list - I just track conspiracies for
fun. And you cannot do that for long without running in oddities like
Discordianism and the Church of the Subgenius. Anyway, we Christians are
only 2000 years from having been a cult, which is not very long, really.

Feh! Silly idea. Now seeing a Newtonbook of this on UNNA - that is
worthy! If *someone* (hint, Albert!) bounces me a copy in a not-unreasonable
format (ie not in Postscript or a PDF), I'll happily convert it.
