Ahh - but we don't compete so nobody knows each other's grades.

Thanks Joanne - it's nice to know I'm hitting the market I've probably permanently pitched at. I hope your son (and you) will keep enjoying my posts...
My recent post Ten Word Wikipedia an exercise in brevity and succinct awesomeness

Welcome Arthur. Glad to have you on board.

Jack,

I am so glad you stopped by to provide a response to Andrew's question. I had been pondering it myself until I read your response.

Welcome to commenting.

Thanks Joanne,

Lets hope he shares vicariously rather than directly.

I think that's a prerequisite for Presbyterian candidacy - but I may have fudged the question by pointing out that my middle name is Macleay, my last name is Campbell and I grew up in the most Scottish little town in Australia. Plus I wore a kilt to my school formal. I am to the Scottish race what Paul was to the Jews.

Bamboo,

You\'re fairly late to the party. Although I thought I had shut the comments on this post a while back.

Let me address your comments.

1. I\'m not ready to call other people with differing ideas smug. Just the new atheists. Smugness is endemic amongst your ilk (and by yours I mean those atheists who trawl the blogosphere looking for things to disagree with).

2. I would contend that this is not always the case. Once a philosophical hypothesis (like atheism) has been established it is very rare that an observation comes first.

3. Hitler was certainly not a Christian - and I think you\'ll find that despite your assertion to the contrary - it is more likely that he was an atheist who used Christianity and its mystical elements for his purposes.

You\'re right about the debate not ceasing - and your advice is pretty on the money.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Sam - I certainly am a Mac person. I actually read about your fourth year project somewhere (I recognise the avatar). I can't remember who linked to it... perhaps it was at davidould.net? Anyway. Thanks for commenting.

These will no doubt prove very useful.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have you tried Pukka Pies? I think they\'re the best.

There's a line in the post that says which I am.
