Vatsala, I am someone who enjoys the technical and social aspects of CLUG, mostly from the sidelines but occasionally I ask a question or perhaps offer some help where I can. I all I ask is that I don't have other people's religious perspectives rammed down my throat. I actually do prefer to live my life in the sand, and/or in a hole - please do not critisise those who prefer to remain in the dark. And please do not try to enlighten me.
