Thanks, Jahlove! [I'd been pondering that humour on threads like this is an unsettlingly feedback-free process. Unless you come up with something that amuses somebody enough for them to spend a whole post nicely telling you, you could be writing rubbish or quite reasonable stuff and have no way of telling. It makes me insecure... The software should incorporate a discreet way of registering a mild chuckle] quote: Originally posted by MouseThief: I want to write encyclicals...

Well, dam, technically, but that sounds so uncouth. 400 years ago the proper translation of "Theotokos" would have been "Godsdam" but that probably looked wrong even then. [ 13. July 2007, 01:45: Message edited by: MouseThief ]
