So I couldn’t resist!  You mean like this? (grinning as he pulls out an old sig file):

-<^>-<^>-<^>-<^>--<^>-<^>-<^>-<^>-
Randomness and Free Will are both 
useful constructs for explaining 
behavior, but neither are provable 
and both only exist in the 
philosophies of their believers. 
I believe nothing exists outside 
the will of GOD, and look forward 
to the final test of that position.
