This is by far the best ng that I correspond on. This will be the 4th year
that I have been on this ng. All of those on here make excellent
conversation and write great articles.
Now we have seen the end of 2004. A year which seemed to have a lot of
suffering for many people with acts of terrorism and then a few days before
the end of the year the most dreadful natural disaster.
Lets hope 2005 is a much better year for all.

A happy New Year to all of you.

A Happy New Year to you too Gavin.

One thing though; generally I lurk, and learn, on this most interesting
of newsgroups because usually I have nothing of value to add. With all
due respect I'd suggest that you are clueless too. Why not join me in
lurking? Your contributions are usually irrelevant, tedious and of no
consequence so there's nothing much for anybody to miss.

Not many are too concerned with your religious right views, why not just
shut up, you know it makes sense.....please.

All the best
