I experience deity, and do not believe. Magic works--or not-- but belief is not useful to me, nor was it useful to early spiritualists. Their movement grew out of the enlightenment and they had a stubborn "show me" attitude.

Well I am hoping to do the same, in fact I'll be playing Illuminati Online (it sounded like a good idea, and it's a cool concept for a role playing game). The board will have a friendly attitude with it, I don't want to have a one-sided BBS, which typically infests the Christian only type systems.

Well I don't have many files of this origin, I just have a few. What I have to do is start sending letters to some of the boards I know to work on some ideas. I will also be permitting file requests, and if I can afford it, will be putting a CDRom online, but the CDRom will become avaliable once the BBS has been well established. But what's your address?

Well, releasing them on his BBS isn't exactly the same thing as publishing, since they are commonly available in a similiar format on other BBS systems (run by both OTO and non-OTO members.) That is what I meant about it probably not mattering. Now, if he wanted to publish them in book form, that is another question entirely! :) 93 93/93.
