I'm signing off the ASA list as I prepare to leave on a vacation.
However ... I've decided I won't be rejoining after I get back, at least not
for a while.
The quantity/quality ratio here has mushroomed these past few months.
Moderation has helped a little, but still too many posts seem to be graceless
arguments between people who make no effort to understand each other, or side
trips into unedifying non-ASA topics, or lengthy discussions on topics I
don't care about (can't blame the list for that one; tastes vary). At this
point in my life, it just isn't worth my time and frustration to wade through
50 posts a day for the one or two that I find edifying. It's time for a
break.
I want to thank all the wise people God has used to enlighten and encourage
me in the 6 years or so I've been on the ASA discussion list. There are too
many to list; a few who particularly come to mind are George Murphy, Paul
Seely, Ted Davis, and Joel Cannon. I'm even grateful for many of those with
whom I disagree significantly -- such as Glenn Morton who is a great source
of information and whose commitment to truth I admire.
May those of you who remain be drawn closer to God through this list and
other means. And anybody who wants to keep in touch privately may do so, of
course.
Blessings,
Allan
