I meant (as I recall), 'My friends and fellow spirits."  Hmmmm... In 
hindsight, "fellow spiritual beings" would have been better.

From Freetranslations.com comes my next question:

Würde „Mit geistige Wesen“ sind besser? Oder vielleicht „Mitschöpfungen vom 
Göttlichen“? 

You can see that I use a "machine translation," which is, I am sure, 
not a precise or smooth translation.  

Perhaps a "Poltergeist" guided my hands on the keyboard with the first 
English being submitted to the translating software.

That, I cannot answer!  You might ask the late General George Patton, 
who believed very strongly in reincarnation (I am not wise enough to 
evaluate that), and so could indeed be reading these messages before 
he returns to human form as a living saint, having tired of the 
senseless slaughter of battle.

And, to return to topic before we are both censured - 4.1.9.3
continues to run very smoothly, apart from the not uncommon lags in
Gmail IMAP when loading a queue of message bodies in the Inbox. And I
am sure that a major effort is (or will be) coming to improve/rebuild
TB's IMAP function.
