- Dear Peter,
- Thanks for coming to my defense! You were the only one that was
- able to read thru my comment, "I'm surrounded by Christians!". I
- did not, at all, intend for it to be taken as any discriminating
- connotation, but rather as a light bit of "friendly hassling" as
- you put it! I'm very new to posting (let alone the internet!) and
- felt that my message sounded a little bit too serious. So, I added
- that at the end, in hopes that all of you that read it, would not
- take it the wrong way, and realize that I just wanted to end on a
- light note!
- Shelley
- P.S. You sound like a nice, intelligent guy! This a a great way to
- meet/talk to people! Had no idea the responses one post could
- generate! Hope to hear from you again soon! Sorry, but being new
- at this, I'm afraid I can't give you my exact address...but I have
- no doubt that, if you want to, you'll be able to find it!
