MikeLong said… Had a poke around. A very attractive and well designed site.
I think part of the problem is my reading speed. I am such a slow reader that I am VERY selective about where I choose to invest my reading time.
I used the wrong word earlier. I (wrongly) said "ambivalent" (=uncommitted). I really meant to say "apathetic" (=strongly committed to not giving a shit what's in the Bible) - so much so that as soon as I see the word "thy" (or similar archaic words), I immediately turn away.
Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for the friend request, and the link to your site. I'm unlikely to use it, though. I seem to have a rather singular ambivalence toward the Bible. But if I have a question, I'll post it on TA and maybe get lucky enough for you to field it.

Hi, thanks for the friend request, and the link to your site. Sorry if my response took a bit, I don't always check in here every day (or every week, depending on how hectic life gets).

archaeopteryx, much software has what we programmers called undocumented capabilities, a fancy name for bugs.
My netbook's keyboard has a CTRL key where my other computer's keyboard has a SHIFT key. Intending to uppercase a letter, I hit the CTRL key and the words I'd typed disappeared.
Thank you for telling me where they went. I was intending to add a remark that Romney has no concern for people such as the Japanese who were vaporized, so the key combination CTRL-R might have sent my words away.
