Hello,
Many thanks for your efforts to answer my simple question. I will find the
time to peruse through the suggested reading.
I must however suggest that you bugger off to bed, as you must be thoroughly
distraught by your earlier outpouring of energy. Besides your unwarranted
fuss and mumbo-jumbo about my choosing another religion - as if you haven't
understood that even one is too much for me - your appropriating my general
question to the entire L as your own, is damn too unhealthy!
Good evening,
Sidibeh
