In a private communication a lister asked me if I found the word G-D so
offensive that I would not spell it out. I am sorry that anything  I wrote
would lead another person to  believe I find G-d offensive. Nothing could be
further from the truth. In case anyone else has this question I will explain
the reason I do this.

My religious beliefs preclude my from speaking or writing the Name of G-d in
a secular context. Exodus 20 verse 7 says "You will not use My Name
needlessly ..." It is therefore as a sign of respect not a sign of distaste
that I do not spell the Name out.

This is purely my belief and I do not expect anyone else to abide by it.

Let Peace be the maxim by which we act because we will Peace to become a
universal law.
