I think this thread has run its course. It's been a good opportunity to talk about a subject which, had it not already existed, would have had to have been invented.

I've been a little saddened by some of the rhetoric, but heartened by the openeness and receptivity of some of the contributors.

Once again and finally I would encourage anyone who has an honest curiosity about Masonry should consider joining, and indeed to adopt a similar approach to anything else in life of which they are presently ignorant, and as a consequence fear.

Adieu
