If you suspect that any of the above detrimentally affect POV, please let me know as a matter of urgency, integrity and (though more contentiously) of salvation.

I believe in open access of information, knowledge and wisdom; and do so with fewer footnotes, citations and reservations than would be required of me when reciting the Nicene Creed.

Thanks therefore to all Wikipedians for the provision of this extraordinary and glorious project. And since all vicars' votes of thanks must end thus: ...and last but not least we are most grateful to the ladies who made the tea, without whom etc.
