Look again at what I said, Fenley.  I said, "I don't BELIEVE in moral
absolutes," but, you know, I could be wrong.  I don't think I am, but I
could be.  Why don't you show me that I am?

By the way, the more I see of your postings, the more I'm convinced that you
are a big waste of time and probably unable to understand simple language.
I have asked you, for example, to stop double posting your nonsense to me.
I am not just a subscriber to the errancy list but also the owner of the
list.  Anything that you address to Errancy will automatically be sent to
me.  When you also address a cc to me, I will receive two copies of it.  I
was away from my office for three hours, and when I returned, 118 messages
came through.  It takes time to go through the volume of mail I receive, so
I don't appreciate receiving two of everything from you, especially when it
is written as unintelligently as your nonsense.  Read though your paragraph
above and see how many errors you can spot.
