No way.  "let there be light" would have lured her out of hiding for sure.

I wouldn't be so certain of that if I were you. One or two other topics have been initiated with what one might reasonably consider to be religion-oriented titles since her 12117th and most recent contribution to this forum, yet some might say that the silence from Collegeville, PA has been sufficiently deafening during the nine weeks since that post to suggest that she has decided not to post further for the foreseeable future, although she remains on the member list here so may well look in from time to time.

Furthermore, you may note also that she has also declined so far to respond to this thread, despite it having her "name" in its topic title.

Best,

Alistair

I know that, in usual circumstances, it's rude to answer a question with another question, but what makes you assume that she has died? We have no evidence to that effect, do we?

I reckon she is still at the funny farm.

A couple more months and she will be back.

Do you have any authoritative evidence for an amusement factor specifically attributable to agricultural practice in the Collegeville area of Pennsylvania? If not, your reference to funny farming might seem to be somewhat unsubstantiated...

I rather think that she has been responsible for the deaths of somewhat fewer people than our old friend Ioseb Vissarionovich Jugashvili / იოსებ ბესარიონის ძე ჯუღაშვილი / Ioseb Besarionis Dze Jughashvili / Ио́сиф Виссарио́нович Джугашви́ли / Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili (whichever you prefer) and, had that not been the case, there'd be many millions fewer people on the east coast of US even today - and anyway, you know that you love her really...

Of course, but her religion has been responsible for more.

You can't hold one person responsible for the actions of many, especially if you don't know if she was responsible for those lives.
