Dear Editors,
Thanks for the informative web site!
Kudos for the comprehensive quotation sections. The most amazing thing about this web site is that I can't find a button for crummy merchandise, donations or to "join us".
On a practical level, agnosticism and atheism goes hand in hand with fiscal conservatism. When you folks start asking for 10 percent of my net income to support charitable efforts in troubled theistic countries, then I must confess, evolution took a very wrong turn when hominids diverged from primate ancestors.
Keep up the faithlessness

We do have a link for subscribing to our crummy magazine, which is our only source of income. If you look on our Front Page, you'll find it; otherwise, good luck!
Actually, we are quite proud of the print edition (the 77th monthly edition is currently in progress, but is quite late due to illness and moving). We are so fond of the print edition that to us, the web site is, by comparison, an afterthought, meant mainly to support the magazine.
Admittedly, the web site got a little bit out of hand, but still, we love our magazine. If you live in the U.S., we'll be happy to send you a sample copy or three when we get a chance. Just tell us your snail mail address and you can try before you buy -- or, you can try and not buy at all! We don't care! We don't want you to pay for it unless (a) you like it or (b) you simply want to help pull the weight for the web site (the magazine being the only opportunity available for doing that).
