Hi All,

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND IN ANY WAY TO THIS POST!

This list is not the proper forum for a discussion of personal beliefs. We

are an international group of Diabetics with quite diverse

religious/non-religious viewpoints and belief systems. I have not shared my

deep personal convictions openly on this group. Likewise, the majority of

you have withheld your personal beliefs as well.

There are many forums that are dedicated to comparative religions.

Unfortunately, very few of them are civil. We have spent a great deal of

time trying to build an open, respectful group here. We have succeeded to a

great extent because we have a limited our discussions to Diabetic issues

(for the most part). Let's continue to succeed in this way.

I need for all of you to help me in this. I can't know in advance what a

post will contain, and am therefore forced to respond to e-mails. I can't

control them in advance. I'm asking each of you to willingly refrain from

responding. That is the only way we can keep this under control.

Thanks to each of you for your understanding!

Rick
