    OK, TheOldHippie.

    I think that you are also an impolite person.

    No, probably you are the most impolite.

    I feel that you are an intruder.
    Good-bye.

    Hi, yadda yadda 2.

    I appreciate to you.

    There is no website in English.
    I'm sorry.

    See you again, somewhere.

    Possible-san, I think that you are a very impolite person - no, the VERY VERY MOST MOST MOSTimpolite.

    Not too active - but then it says is " The English forum for POSITIVE PEOPLE", and put quite simply, possible-san is not THAT much of a positive person, so if he is representative of the others, I fully understand why it is so ........ empty.

    I see the (im)possible-san club is steadily growing...

    This somehow reminds me of a funny yet instructive French TV program about good manners and courtesy entitled Je vais t'apprendre la politesse, petit con! -- which might approximately translate as "I will teach you politeness, you little silly b*gger!"

    Back to the topic, I tend to agree with Earnest on the fact that the name Yhwh may well have been important to some segments of the early "Christian" nebula -- just not those which were represented in the NT writings by extant evidence (although, while I don't expect any evidence of it to come up, it would make much better sense in Matthew than anywhere else imo). Besides anti-Pauline "Judeo-Christians" (yet possibly related to them) the frequent use of vocalic invocations in the Nag Hammadi Gnostic writings, coupled with the tradition that the divine name (from a Greek-speaking perspective) consisted only in vowels, and the Platonic hierarchy of letter-sounds in which vowels stood closer to the esence of the logos/phonè than consonants, may point in this direction. Then "Yhwh" would have suffered an interesting split in Gnostic tradition, between the negative use of Yaldabaoth etc. and the positive one (which may also be reflected in the name Barbelo, if interpreted as a deformation of the "four-letter God", be`arba 'eloah)...

    I think that you are foolish.

    Shall I say so to you any number of times?

    And also you are an intruder - no, the VERY VERY BIGGESTintruder since the 1930s.

    since the 1930s?

    Did you become insane?

    Narkissos.

    I think that your comment is also fairly foolish.

    "(im)possible-san"

    You cannot write others' name exactly, either.
