---Theosophical Disclaimer---
I hereby declare that all statements following this message are NOT 
facts, theories, hypothesi, opinions, declarations, revelations, or 
assumptions based on accurate investigations or unarguable statistics.  
I have not called everyone in the world and asked for their opinions on 
the subjects of which I have made these statements about.  I have not 
recieved complete autobiographies from the Earth's population of 
minerals, animals, plants, or humans, and, therefore, any statement 
herein made is only a generality based on my own personal experiences.  
If any statement contains sexist, racist, prejudiced, or any other 
disagreeable material, I apologize profusely.  I can only attribute any 
insulting statements to the fact that I am not omniscient.  Including 
the above, all statements contained within the following message are not 
judgements.  I must repeat this.  Including the above, ALL statements 
contained within the following message are NOT JUDGEMENTS.  They are 
solely opinions based on the current experiences of my self.  Any fact, 
theory, hypothesis, opinion, declaration, revelation, or assumption is 
mine alone, insofar as I know, and is not necessarily a fact, theory, 
hypothesis, opinion, declaration, revelation, or assumption of the 
Theosophical Society, the United States, my family, my friends, my 
next-door neighbor, his dog, the chrysanthemums that were digested by 
his cat the day before yesterday, or any one person or group of people 
which exist in the known or unknown universes or dimensions.

I am not responsible for any misinterpretations, manipulation of 
definition, unintended insight, or "twisting of words" which result from 
the following statement or statements.  Unfortunately, once again due to 
my lack of omniscience, I cannot guarantee that any facts, theories, 
hypothesi, opinions, declarations, revelations, or assumptions written 
by myself will be interpreted as they were intended to be.

Any statement or statements made by myself are not intended as attacks 
on any one person or group or classification of peoples, and are also 
not intended as a means of classifying one or more persons.  As before 
stated, they are only statements based on my own experiences in the few 
years that I have so far lived, and, therefore should not be interpreted 
as statements which are "written in stone".  I apologize if any 
statements I make shall have a negative effect on any person, and, if a 
statement should have such an effect, please remember the first sentence 
of this paragraph.
---End of Disclaimer---

Due to the content of recent posts, I have found such a disclaimer to be 
necessary.  It makes me kind of sad, really, to have to do this.  
Although it appears to be an attempt at humor, it also contains a 
somewhat serious message.

If anyone can think of anything which might be added to this disclaimer, 
please let me know.  This really shouldn't be necessary, but maybe it 
is?

PS  The huh huh thing was not necessarily a symbol of agreement to 
anyone's views.  I thought it was funny, so I followed along.
