Hi... I'm not sure which email program you're using, but it doesn't do
line-wrapping, making life hard when I want to reply. Any chance of
fixing that?

Yeah, I met some CAW-ers (or perhaps ex-CAW-ers, I'm not entirely sure)
on my last trip to America.

*Is* there a complete rejection of such things? I'm rather fond of that
transcendant bliss stuff myself. I just regard it as a property of my
brain that certain experiences activate, rather than something external.
In fact, AFAIR the reading list used to include 'Prometheus Rising' by
Robert Anton Wilson. The fifth of the eight brain circuits in the
Leary/Wilson model was primarily concerned with such states.
