I'm not surprised. There are hardly any posts on this board.
It's a shame- it's definitely a topic of interest to me, but there is just not enough traffic to this board.
Well, I guess it was nice while it lasted.
Hi Victoria,
Since I left the Board, I have checked back from time to time, to see if the number of posts had increased. I was sad to read Angela's announcement, that the board would cease as of 09/11/08. I was among the first to post here, and though the thoughts/opinions posted here, were as diverse as the people. I think we all had a special respect for each other; at least I do for all I had the occasion to correspond with.
As a Christian, I believe the expression love, between a man and a woman, is sacred and should honoring to both. It is not only a sacred and honoring act, but it is selfless (IMO). When these are omitted from the sexual act between a husband and wife, then the individuals involved are devalued. Case in point, a Dr. Robert Levy has invented robots, for just the purpose of sexual companionship. Dr. Levy, has predicted that as early as 2012, Massachusetts will legalize marraige between a human and a robot.

I read a story in the Houston Chronical, about the love of a little boy for his stillborn sister. Although, there are no sexual connatations, love in all its glory, selflessness and sacredness is in fully display.

As you can see from the above sentiments, I am just as opinionated as ever. :-) Nice to have met you, Victoria. Take care...
