Welcome Continued...

Even though I officially copyright all my writings regularly with the copyright office I have decided to take an extra precaution and post a copyright notice on all my postings. I became somewhat concerned when I noticed that Microsoft is posting its own copyright notice on each posting page of its mailing lists. I do not think it is legally possible, but wouldn't it be something if some writer wanted to publish his own material and Microsoft claimed ownership and forbid him from doing so? I know some of my writings have made it over to Microsoft's pages so I thought I would take this precaution. All the keys members are still welcome to share all my posted writings.

Darian & B.J, I should have known that I would overlook someone but I wasn't sure if you came from Sterling's list. I did read that article you sent me. It was very interesting and went along with many conclusions I had already formed.

And Trish... Are you also from the Mormon group? Is there anyone else we missed?

And Pablo thanks for your post. I did look up that web information on the Pharaohs. It looked interesting, but I haven't had time to study it in detail.

Some are getting a little edgy because we have been discussing some Mormon principles in such detail, but I think we are finally ready to move on. My post of today is something that you will not hear in any LDS general conference any time soon.

I would like to suggest that the religion of this group be the same as that stated by H P Blavatsky. She said: "Our highest religion is truth." If we use this as criteria then we will be quoting from a wide variety of sources: truth is sprinkled in larger and smaller portions among all the writings of the world. Even the devil couldn't write an article without saying something within it that would be true.

And Margaret, speaking of truth, sometimes there is no teacher like a little child. Your story sounded too good to be true. You ought to submit it to either the Readers Digest or Chicken Soup for the Soul.
