Sigh.. yes. I suppose we should enjoy the fact that FG seems less dead at the moment. And it's Christmas/Hannukah/Eid for at least one of our Eminent Gardeners. Personally, I'm a bit hohum about one newbie erecting himself a gigantic soapbox from which to get in all our faces. Dialogue takes two, both able to listen as well as preach. Anyway, I don't subscribe too much these days to narrow man-constructed religious rules of any flavour. When I said this early on, I was immediately accused of being an atheist and offered private counselling. Religion has, in my humble opinion which I won't force down anyone's throat, given God/Allah/Yahweh a bad name.
