Ok, I agree with all of you, but I think its been useful to establish 
that there's a judgement about the author operating here, independent 
of the quality of his posts, which would be *extremely* tricky to 
justify publically. 

And because of this, I don't think we should try and come up with any 
strange category to put him in. He should just be coded 
under 'alchemy' and possibly 'Christian influences', and left for 
people to make what they want of his posts.

Carolyn:
I've emailed him off-list again (and mentioned it to him at the 
weekend)..sorry, I fear he is overwhelmed with messages probably. 
Hope one of them gets noticed today - send a reminder as well, 
please! Also, could you re-visit the catalogue site address with your 
browser (http://24.0.225.196:8888), as although you won't get in, it 
will make doubly sure the site captures your computer's ID, which is 
what Paul uses to set up your access.
