Geoff:
Defienitely not, Carol. 

You're a bit like Elijah who thought in a moment of depression 
that he was the only one of God's prophets left in Israel and 
was told that there were thousands of others like him.

I was out on New Year's Eve  with some fellow church members 
seeing in the New Year and, as Big Ben chimed midnight, we 
linked hands and sang "Auld Lang Syne" with all its lyrics.... and 
we're not even Scots.
