Hello Everyone,
We ask that you respect the request of your Moderators to close a thread.
David's request was not a solicitation for anyone to defend their position
and/or opinion. If you must make a follow-up comment, there is simply no
reason why it cannot wait until Friday.
Even in that situation, it is more appropriate to open a new thread rather
than re-opening one already closed. Closed means "No further discussion."
Just a reminder, your follow-up comments should avoid subjects that relate
to religion or politics. Those subjects tend to lead to passionate off-topic
discussions which are not permitted on this List even on Fridays.
BenT
