Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 514.

I have tried to follow along with the exchange on Humanist messaging on this and have lots of questions. I would love to see your pre-publication article and to speak with you once I have had time to patch over enough ignorance so as to make best use of your time. Please feel free to use my gmail (cmason.nc@gmail.com) for your manuscript and for scheduling a video demo. I look forward to learning more!
