If you've perceived my comments that way then I apologize
wholeheartedly. I was in *no way* trying to make light of these recent
events and it actually bothers me that you'd think that. However, I can
easily understand how you might think that so--again--I apologize.
In a strange way, I was attempting to get the types of posts on the
list a little more on-topic. I feel that posts regarding this attack
are fine since they greatly affect us all on a number of levels.
However, I didn't feel it was appropriate to start a religious
discussion on the list. My attempt at humor was an absurd way to
demonstrate that a discussion of God, sin, and consequences of sin on a
list such as this would be fruitless, pointless, and most likely
inflammatory considering the diverse makeup of the list.
Perhaps because religious discussions are one of my "hot buttons" I
wasn't able to restrain myself from making such an absurd post, but
please do not take it in the wrong way. I agree that this list is made
up of quite a few professionals and it's precisely that that makes
religious discussion inappropriate. However, in hindsight I regret
posting that publicly and I'll try to show more restraint in the
future.
Sincerely,
John

I've noticed all the comments being made, but please take five seconds
and
place your wife or your child in one of those planes or buildings, and
I
assure you your comments and thoughts would not be the same. I work a
block
from the Pentagon and I find NO amusement in your comments. Could it
be
because it didn't directly effect you or your family. I almost a very
close
friend and I didn't think that was amusing at all, when I did find her,
she
was covered with smoke and ash, but at least she was alive. I consider
this
page one of highly intelligent professionals, lets keep it that way.

Man, that's going to haunt you forever. I stole some gum from a store
when I was nine and the world hasn't been the same since!

Well, since you guys bring it up, coming from this net engineer who
is
a
christian evangelist as well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
God is real and these instances happen because of sin in the world!
You
cannot expect to
live in a society where sin and rebellion abounds so much and not
expect
some drastic
consequences... But what a great loss especially to all the little
children
who lost mommies and daddies!!!!!!!!!!! To all those lost our hearts
and
prayers go out to them!!
