Totally agree.

The written word always lacks the subtle intonations of speech and certainly the gestures that accompany direct contact. No offence ever taken Blacky.

Another comment from you:

"I'm a bit of a strange one with a real morbid streak".

I must confess I have noticed your morbid streak at times. I was going to comment once but refrained. Perhaps I will draw your attention to it next time. I would rather like to have a beer or two with you one day Blacky. Who knows? The Arabic phrase "Insha'Allah" is perhaps appropriate on a thread called "Evidence for God". Except they frown on alcohol.
