I get so many emails, I lost this one from you ...

I'm sorry, but your education is very relevant as is mine and everybody's business. When you post on a public forum, you make your educational background very much our business. If all you read are fairy tales, then it means I/we have to speak to the level of your own education. If you can't back your claims, then don't bother to comment.

I welcome anything you say that you are willing to back up.

Your marriage to a Christian woman tells me very little. Many call themselves by some religion whether they truly are or not. There are many Middle Easterners who are truly Christian. Most of them are persecuted into paradise by the Muslims of their respective countries. Occassionally, some marry without any real allegiance to any God. Those they marry sometimes don't totally agree with even their own religion.

If you want to comment on a public forum, then be prepared to be called to task. Your english, for which I congratulate you, is better this time than last. My comment on your English was made just to let you know that I had trouble understanding you completely. It wasn't meant to be critical. I know one language well, and that's it. So, in that department, I readily admit to being your inferior.

Again, I'm sorry your response got so buried in my emails. Some days, I just get absolutely buried and struggle to keep up. Some of them get lost in the avalanche, and are only discovered at a much later date, when I try to clean house a little.
