Thanks to Susan for the belated compliment.

Personally I think the time has come to close the Calvin Reflector, unless
a moderator can be found.
It seems it is impossible to maintain an unmoderated List in this topic of
Creation/ Evolution and I am surprised it has lasted this long. It is a pity,
because it had the potential to foster ongoing mutual understanding
between both sides of this `culture war'. It has certainly been a *great*
help to my understanding.
I thank Terry for maintaining it this long. Perhaps Terry can give us an idea
of the time-frame he is thinking of?
