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.
