Well, at this point we have at least one non-Christian listening in -- it turns out that with the new format for the list (I just started moderating it a long two weeks ago...), it seemed like we may as well allow non-Christians listen in directly rather than making someone go to the trouble of hand-forwarding items... The other reason is that when I get mail that just says "Add me to the list", I can't tell if the person is a Christian or not... The purpose of the list is still to provide a non-hostile environment for discussions among Christians, so I am encouraging Christians (more so than non-Christians) out there to join the list if they want to. -- -Liz Allen Univ of Maryland, College Park MD Usenet: ...!seismo!umcp-cs!liz Arpanet: liz@maryland (or liz@tove) "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all" -- 1 John 1:5
