Am I the only one who has this problem ? On another note, I understand Sean is on vacation. Nevertheless, I trust he has no doubt followed with great interest the rapidly breaking & fading story regarding the auctioning of an Einstein letter (in German script) in the UK, which contains the most specific denuciations of religon AE has EVER made, which should finally eliminate any waffling about his viewpoints on this subject. Sean, make like Paul Revere, and get to your laptop about this. Did no one hear my appeal for help regarding the misalignment of the dark margins on the threads at CV ?
