'gene (and Olga):
Rock on. Glad you're on the case. By my "sheaf of strategies" heuristic,
you are right to be doing what you're doing. And so are those
scoffers who have other fish to fry that they swear are bigger.
(Don't ask what we swear by, OK? :) ) I don't like the taste of flounder,
so to speak.
Kneejerk outspoken atheism is societally useful, if only as a canary
in a coalmine. Don't stop on my or anyone else's account. Seriously.
It frees up attention for others who don't like retreats to commitment
of either stripe. :)
Sincerely,
MMB
