I make it a point not to be "anonymous", but when I'm usually in "blog-comment-mode", I'm in my "other" Google account which discloses more details. But if I just want to leave a quick note, and am feeling too lazy to sign out of gmail, sign back in under a different account, etc., I just leave a note from "David".<BR/><BR/>I'll try to do better in future! :)<BR/><BR/>David Reimer<BR/>EdinburghDavid Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886492671751634816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-35057218525450962772007-07-12T18:22:00.001+01:002007-07-12T18:22:00.001+01:00David,By the way, why don't you unlock your blog p...David,<BR/><BR/>By the way, why don't you unlock your blog profile so we can see who you are?Guy Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184743462264437085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-51737427224056677322007-07-12T18:22:00.000+01:002007-07-12T18:22:00.000+01:00Thanks for those suggestions, David.

Considering JM was primarily a theologian, the book contained very little by way of assessment of JM's theological lagacy. The review will be published later this year in the <I>Protestant Truth Society</I> magazine. After the review been published there, I'll probably post it on the blog.Guy Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184743462264437085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-39875686594519813062007-07-12T16:00:00.000+01:002007-07-12T16:00:00.000+01:00From your list, I have also read ## 1, 2, 4, 5, an...From your list, I have also read ## 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7.
