Subject: Information for Drive-by posters.

I'm reposting this for not-Matt, aka Millenium Edition, so that he can see that anyone who reads this forum often enough to be a competent participant has ample reason to know that I am a widower.

I don't participate on the CofChrist.org forum because I am not interesting in reading the stuff there. And if you don't read the material, you shouldn't come to the discussion group, no?

The relevant information that is still extant in the archives is at the bottom of this post.
