AFRO-NETS is about malaria (15)
-------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

I didn't express that the list serve was "only" for malaria, but
rather "This [list serve] is intended for discussions about
treating and preventing malaria." Malaria is listed by the World
Health Organization as the deadliest infectious disease among
African children, killing more kids on the continent than AIDS.
It is among the most dramatic burdens on African development and
one for which effective solutions exist.

My comments were intended to refocus discussion on this disease,
certainly to discourage attention paid to momentary partici-
pant's abstract bashing of Americans who believe the Bible is
the word of God. I'm still unconvinced that this was an appro-
priate posting for the moderator to allow. There is no proper
analogy between so-called American fundamentalists, who read the
Bible literally and largely peacefully, and fundamentalists of
any religion who dogmatically perpetrate violence. It is an in-
sult to claim Christians do so.

Dear Dr. Kent, going back a few emails, the definition of
"eristic" at your request is "characterized by disputatious and
often subtle and specious reasoning." With all due respect, I
find it applies nicely to certain contributions you have made.
Feel free to use the word against me in the future. {:-D

Dear Dr. Frighi, thank you sincerely for your concession. I
apologize for my sarcasm.

Merry Christmas to all, especially the moderator!
