I have left theos-l now because it no longer interests me to spend the time
on it. I didn't join in the first place to end up being drawn into useless
arguments that I can get in my own backyard without much effort. I have tried
to keep out but somehow get involved so as I am not learning anything I
consider useful, there is no point in hanging around. I will stick with theos
news for the odd snippet and the literature that appears from time to time.
It was nice knowing you all but enough is enough.
