Everybody interested in some tough atheistic ''adolescent'' debate without
regard for keeping things ''nice, civilized, and responsible'' :-) :
send me a mail, please ! -- maybe we can improve the world by keeping our
(so-called) ''adolescent'' stuff a bit among ourselves before we shock these
mature-standards-of-conduct adults :-)<grin>:-) with the results of our
discussions.

With the very best greetings to all Extropians, and again complimenting this
admirable Institute on fulfilling a solid and truly useful
"light-in-the-darkness" function, Menno (rubingh@delftnet.nl)
