with God as my witness, I did not construct that last reply with sarcasm as my motive.
I was offering a genuine thanks for your redirect of my energies.
Your screenname invites a level of frivolous engagement and affectionate sibling banter.
Maybe, just maybe, you can believe this post as a real expression of appreciation for something you contributed via an earlier post.
I NEVER close with the salutation I used unless I am genuinely appreciative.

Okay, I'll take your word for it. Sorry for doubting your sincerity.

Like yesterday when I was searching for a website, and inadvertently typed a "t" instead of a "y". Interesting. Luckily it was a warning page so I didn't have to see anything disgusting.

if you want to, you could also ask God since I did evoke him as a witness concerning my posting motive.

You both were saying the same thing. You're both are for accountability as long as it's not madatory.
BTW, MissBrat, I loved your analogy: Kind of like a wife submitting to her husband must be voluntary--otherwise she is subservient--not submissive.

I think He'll expect me to use my own judgment.

Re: Pastoral Internet Regulation & Control
How is this pastor going to regulate internet use on cell phones. Because what a lot of people may do is stop using their home computers and start using their cell /pda phones for access.
