[Faith-talk] I'm Back, Hopefully For a Long Time

[Paul Smith]

Hello my fellow list members and individuals.  At last I'm back and 
hope to stay for a long time.  It seemed that I had a loose cable 
connecting my modem to my computer, and thus I was without Internet 
access from Sunday afternoon until several hours ago today.  Obviously 
I have about 425 messages to go through which will be responded to as 
appropriate.

To list moderators, I have a question which I hope won't be too 
embarrassing.  Let's say that one of us knows that he/she will be off 
the Internet for several days.  Could something be put in place so that 
such persons can call a designated list member merely to inform him/her 
of the dilemma? Firstly that might allay concerns about why the person 
can post, and secondly it would give insurance, so to speak, that the 
moderator or owner of a group won't remove that particular person.  I 
hope I'm making sense here.

Anyway I've been quite busy, writing up enough weekly Bible trivia game 
poems to last the rest of the year and reading a delightfully readable 
historical book entitled "Louis Braille, A Touch of Genius" by C. 
Michael Mellor.  If you are at all interested in how blind people coped 
during the 1800's, it will give you plenty of information to use.

Anyway I'll close for now.  If anyone had me in their thoughts over the 
past few days, thanks a bunch.  Your Christian friend and brother, Paul
