Dear Sir,
I am writing to simply say, thank you for your website. I am a fifty years old Englishman currently living in Denmark. By profession I am a lecturer in psychology. For thirty years I have been an atheist and sceptic, and often felt that I was a lone voice. I had begun to feel that the barbarians were not only at the gate, but in the throne room, basement and kitchen already. However, the Internet has given me access to many, many excellent sites of sound information and reasoned thinking. In that way it has reduced my growing despair a little. Of course, it also gives access to utter bilge and sheer fantasy. However, all the better to sharpen ones wits on?
Your web site is an outstanding example amongst many such. I am particularly impressed with the manner in which you deal with your correspondents. You handle foolishness, boorishness and ignorance in a perfect manner.
I have no great argument or theory to advance, I sincerely just wanted to say thank you.
Yours Sincerely
David Curtis
