-Caveat Lector-
A guy asks a question and you suggest he reads the bible to find the answer. There's
nothing like making life difficult for someone is there??
I gather you either don't want to help or you want him to find out the answer to his
simple question in about 3 months (and after many sleepless nights)!!

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
