        Umm... school marm?

        Shouldn't that be "fussy old male librarian?"

        "School marm" has me picturing you with poofy grey hair in a grey, floor-length skirt and a paisley blouse covering an ample bosom.

            Being attacked by you is like being called an idiot by JimL. I simply consider the source, and revel in the irony.

                  I think they have a saying for that in his bible. "Wolf in sheeps clothing." I'm not sure though that he really is that self aware, cognitive dissonance seems to be a character trait that runs throughout the christian community.

                          Wow, an ignorant anti-Christian bigot says bad things about me. I'm shocked.

                                I think that's fair - we just seem to draw the Christian hating variety. Usually. With notable exceptions. Of which you appear to be one. But there may be more. It's just that the Christian haters stick out more.
