Hi All,
I am puzzled by your continuing use of the phrase, Voted
with their feet. As an idiom I always felt that it meant
unhappiness with a given situation that is resolved by
leaving.
I have a bad cold and I am high on various remedies. :-)

Or that I would find myself being released on my own recognizance. No

You make an excellent point. The Guardian also discouraged Baha'is in
the West from using Allah-u-Abha (Before Strangers) as it gives a
very peculiar impression of us, and makes us seem like some strange

However, informally, I have seen people use 35 years of age as a type

Recently I watched a film entitled, King Arthur and it seemed to

Thanks for your definition. As a Baha'i like yourself, I would say

I am curious. I seem to recall that the House dissolved the institutions in
