	`... Sorry, but you're not really in a position to judge 
	the motives people have for holding to certain beliefs unless 
	you share those beliefs yourself.  I mean, couldn't your criticism 
	here be viewed as a bit smug and self-righteous? ...'

	As Jim would say: `eh, I mean,...' isn't this a bit steep ?  
	Must I believe we're all living on a dinner plate before I start 
	questioning the tenets of the Flat Earth Society ?  Would that 
	be evidence of my smugness & self-righteousness ?

	And why is the *modest* proselytiser - Hare Krishna cymbal-basher, 
	or Joseph Smith salesman, or shining faced nun - always so 
	off putting ?
