Hi Anatoly,

I object the use of "hosannas of adoration". Other than the use of Greek mythology, I propose the mailing list to be religion-neutral and tautology-free.
Is "Down the rabbit hole" OK? I'm not sure it usually counts as a religious text to you, but I'm rather fond of Alice's Adventures and find it to many useful words to live by. I don't read it as being True (in the religious sense that De Rerum Natura,The Odyssey, Don Quixote, Moby Dick, The Lord of the Rings, and the works of Jorge Luis Borges and Bob Dylan are), but it does seem somewhat more realistic and useful than some of those other standard texts from antiquity. That could just be me. I certainly mean no offense to anyone's belief system.... ;) --Matt
