I try to maintain a good sense of humor; a little sillyness is good,
IMHO. :-)

Sure, both are primative "invalid" forms of dialogue. Therefore,
your post was "invalid" in that way. Do you want to post
invalid posts? This messaging style is anything but "subtle",
or informative.

I don't know, you'd have to ask some kind of gnostic. That's a distortion,
at best, of what my religion says. A person does not release divine
sparks from himself into the creation or anything of the sort; that's
a gnostic xtian idea I assume; or perhaps something you thought up on
your own. Besides, your answering my question with a different question
is a dodge...
