Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur. Whoa! This is pretty hard for me. I am only up to Chapter 13 in Wheelock's.. I think you asked me if I want to speak Latin? Wish I could.... I'll soon be taking my second Latin class, so maybe then I'll be able to talk the lingua Rom...

Wow. Abuse of power and position by a religious teacher. I'm really, really glad that that only happens in kooky newage religions like Buddhism, and never in established respectable religions like Christianity. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche was a great teacher, and, I believe, spiritually enlightened. Ch...

So, what did I miss?

Well, it's been a while. About seven months to be precise. I've been away form this board, but don't take it personally, I've been away from every board. Been a little pre-occupied with setting up my new business (<a href="http://www.paramktg.com" target="_blank">Parametric</a> -...

Did this get answered? I'm just returning from a couple of weeks away from the board, and I don't have time to read the whole thread -- what was the conclusion? My money's on those bloody Taoists.

I get a CNat on the Shaw it by OXXXXO, which is close enough for government work. But you're right, half-holing is probably best.
